President William Ruto has called on the international community to provide the requisite resources to the Kenyan-led Multinational Security Support Mission for Haiti.
The President said the support, which includes personnel, equipment and logistics, will fast-track the realization of the mission's objective of restoring peace and stability in the nation.
He spoke on Saturday in Port-au-Prince where he met police officers involved in the Mission.
The President also met President Edgard Le Leblanc, the Transitional Presidential Council.
“I came here specially to know about your progress so that friends and partners who believe in stability and peace can work with me at the United Nations General Assembly to make sure that you get the requisite support to ensure that you deliver,” he said.
President Ruto noted that the international community must pay attention to needs in Haiti.
“As the lead nation, Kenya will be calling attention to the need to seize the opportunity of the last few weeks to realise the mandate of UNSC res 2699,” he said.
President Ruto said the Mission, under the Force Commander Godfrey Otunge, has made tangible progress in the restoration of peace and stability in the country.
He observed that the United Nations-backed Mission has injected hope in the people of Haiti.
