MSS Denies Resignation Reports of Kenyan Officers in Haiti
The Multinational Security Support (MSS) has dismissed claims that Kenyan officers in Haiti are resigning due to delays in allowance payments.
MSS Force Commander Godfrey Otunge clarified that the media outlet responsible for the report failed to seek input from the mission before publishing.
Otunge labeled the circulating information as false and intentionally misleading.
He assured that all MSS personnel, including those in Haiti, have received their salaries and monthly allowances, adding that no officer has resigned as alleged.
The commander emphasized that MSS officers remain dedicated to collaborating with the Haitian National Police to dismantle gang networks and restore stability in the region.
Otunge urged local and international media to verify information directly with MSS before publishing, reiterating their commitment to open and transparent communication.

A foreign news outlet recently alleged that nearly 20 Kenyan officers had resigned due to delayed salaries and poor working conditions in Haiti.
The report claimed these officers had submitted resignation letters but had not received any government response.
Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja, on November 5, also refuted the claims, confirming that Kenyan officers in Haiti had been fully paid.
Kanja highlighted significant progress in Haiti due to government efforts to address challenges faced by the Kenyan contingent.
Interior Principal Secretary Raymond Omollo supported these statements, explaining that the United Nations is responsible for paying the officers, not the Kenyan government.
Omollo emphasized that Kenya’s involvement in Haiti is as part of a United Nations multi-support team with clearly defined terms of engagement regarding funding and compensation.
