A new promise from Kenya regarding the deployment of 1000 police officers as part of the MMAS. Kenyan President William Ruto, who had a conversation with U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, assured that the officers will be deployed to Port-au-Prince once the installation of the Transitional Presidential Council is completed. "I had a phone conversation with Secretary of State Antony Blinken regarding developments in Haiti. Mr. Blinken informed me of the decision by the Summit of Caribbean countries (Caricom) and the United States, as well as other partners, regarding the political situation in Haiti. He informed me that a new Presidential Council will be formed soon to manage the situation in Haiti. I assured Secretary Blinken that Kenya would take the lead of the United Nations Security Support Mission in Haiti to restore peace and security as soon as the Presidential Council is in place," wrote William Ruto on his X account. Yesterday, Kenyan authorities had indicated that the deployment was suspended until a new government is formed in Haiti. "The agreement (of reciprocity) signed with the president still stands, even though the deployment will not happen now because we will certainly need a government in place to collaborate as well," said Salim Swaleh, the main spokesperson of the Kenyan Ministry of Foreign Affairs. "We cannot deploy the police in the streets of Port-au-Prince without an administration in place," he continued. Currently, the United States is working to facilitate the arrival of the MMAS in Haiti. Tuesday evening, according to Politico, the White House sent its detailed plan for funding the mission to Republicans. Democrats hope that Republicans will allow the funds to be released. The United States has committed to providing $300 million for the multinational United Nations mission, announced last year, which would involve the deployment of 1,000 Kenyan police officers to Haiti to try to curb the chaos caused by gangs. The State Department is battling against House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul and Jim Risch, who are blocking the remaining funds. An envelope that, according to officials, is essential for Kenya to send agents to the Caribbean. Also on Tuesday evening, residents of Port-au-Prince observed several helicopters in the sky. The newspaper learned that these U.S. military aircraft, four in total, were transporting Marines, according to a U.S. official close to the matter. The newspaper also learned that the top priority for the Americans is to bring the Kenyans to Haiti.
