NAIROBI, Kenya, Mar 15 \u2013 President William Ruto says Kenya will deploy a reconnaissance mission<\/strong> to Haiti once a stable administration is established.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The head of state made the statement during a telephone conversation with outgoing prime minister Ariel Henry who recently resigned and his Canadian counterpart Justin Trudeau.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur plan to deploy a reconnaissance mission as soon as a viable administration is in place, ensuring that our security personnel are adequately prepared and informed to respond effectively to the evolving situation,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

He further assured them of Kenya\u2019s unwavering commitment to supporting Haiti. <\/p>\n

\u201cI assured them that we will remain actively involved and we will not abandon Haiti in their time of need,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Haiti declared a state of emergency earlier this month after armed gangs invaded major Port-au-Prince prison, leading to the killing of at least 12 people and release of around 4,000 inmates.<\/p>\n

This came as Henry travelled to Nairobi to discuss the sending a Kenya multi- led multinational security force to Haiti.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday Guyanese President and Chairman of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Irfaan Ali announced Henry\u2019s resignation.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe acknowledge his resignation upon the establishment of transitional presidential council and naming an interim prime minister,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

During his visit to Kenya Henry signed a reciprocal agreement with president Ruto who agreed to deploy 1,000 police officers to Haiti, a nation largely under gang control.<\/p>\n

Following the establishment of a transitional government in conflict-ridden Haiti, PS Sing\u2019oei affirmed Kenya\u2019s commitment to proceeding with the deployment of the 1,000 police officers.<\/p>\n

\u201cWithout a political administration in Haiti, there is no anchor on which a police deployment can rest, hence government will await the installation of a new constitutional authority in Haiti, before taking further decisions on the matter,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The development comes amidst ongoing criticism from a section of Kenyan citizens directed at the government\u2019s decision to deploy forces to tackle notorious gangs in Haiti.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
