The police in Kenya fixed false reports about money spent in Haiti. News stories from March 14, 2025, claimed the Haiti mission cost Sh4.5 billion. Police officer Muchiri Nyaga said reporters never asked the police chief about these wrong numbers.
Nyaga explained the real budget for Haiti work in 2024/25 is only Sh2.1 billion. He stated clearly that Kenya pays nothing because the United Nations pays all costs. The police already received US$7,210,030.56, equal to about Sh933,546,317.60 in Kenya money.
Each month, the UN sends worker pay directly to Kenya. This cash first arrives at the Central Bank then moves to the government account. Kenya follows Article 206 of their Constitution, which created a special fund where all government money must go.
Kenya follows strict money rules. Section 206 says cash leaves the main fund only when Parliament approves through Articles 222 or 223. Nyaga made clear that every Haiti mission expense comes from UN dollars, not Kenya's resources.
Police remain dedicated to their security job in Haiti. Even as President Trump changes US policies, support for Haiti's work continues. This funding survived cuts that stopped other US help around the world.
President William Ruto spoke with Marco Rubio, the US Secretary of State, on February 6. They discussed how their countries help each other. Both leaders promised stronger teamwork despite changes in Washington.
