Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen declared the Kenya-led Haiti security mission effective during a Garissa security meeting. Kenyan police forces successfully contained criminal gangs and restored stability across previously dangerous territories. Officers secured airports, police headquarters, and communication infrastructure while enabling Haitian students to complete national examinations safely. Early concerns about widespread officer casualties proved unfounded.
Kenya deployed over 700 police personnel as part of a planned 2,500-member international force. The mission remains incomplete due to limited international support from development partners. President William Ruto will seek additional backing during the United Nations General Assembly meetings. Three Kenyan officers died during operations, with Benedict Kabiru missing after March 25 ambush circumstances.
