Kenya has admitted that it would delay the deployment of its police officers to Haiti after Prime Minister, Ariel Henry resigned on Monday.
This was disclosed by Foreign Affairs Principal Secretary, Korir Sing’oei who admitted that Henry’s resignation had altered the situation on the ground as there is no holding government to work with the mission yet.
The move means the actual dates for the deployment of the Multinational Security Support (MSS) mission to Haiti, endorsed by the UN Security Council in October last year, will be dragged further.
But Nairobi argues it needs an established authority in Haiti with which to coordinate the operations of the Mission.
