The United States assured Kenya of its continued support across key sectors, pledging to deepen the long-standing partnership between the two nations despite shifting global geopolitical dynamics.
US Chargé d’Affaires Susan Burns delivered the assurance during a courtesy call on the Speaker of the National Assembly Moses Wetang’ula, on Monday.
Burns commended Kenya for its leading role in promoting global peace, singling out its intervention in Haiti as a demonstration of international responsibility.
“Kenya deserves immense credit for what it has done,” Burns stated.
“The Haiti matter will be top of the agenda this week during the UN General Assembly.
We understand the concern over financial questions; it has been a struggle but Kenya’s commitment has not gone unnoticed.”
Her remarks came after Speaker Wetang’ula asked the US to reconsider its decision to withdraw funding for the Kenya-led Haiti mission, which is now slated for conversion into a UN operation.
“There was anticipated financial support, there was a commitment, what happened?
Kenya has done more than it needed to do,” Wetang’ula asked.
