Kenya formally ended its deployment to Haiti under the Multinational Security Support (MSS) Mission, with the final 150 police officers departing on April 28, marking the end of the 18-month mission.

Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen and Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja were in Port‑au‑Prince on April 27 to oversee the final drawdown and meet the remaining Kenyan contingent.

The delegation, which included National Security Advisor Joseph Boinett, was received by MSS Contingent Commander Godfrey Otunge and Kenya's Consul General to Haiti Noor Gabow.

The officials were briefed on the mission’s operations, achievements and the transition to the newly established Gang Suppression Force (GSF), as outlined in UN Security Council Resolution 2793 (2025).

According to the Cabinet Secretary, Kenyan officers, working alongside the Haitian National Police (HNP) and other MSS contingents, helped secure key infrastructure, including the airport, seaport and major transport corridors. They also helped restore state authority in previously inaccessible areas and supported the reopening of schools, hospitals and businesses.

Murkomen conveyed a message of goodwill from President William Ruto, praising the officers for their service and sacrifice while Kanja commended their professionalism while on the mission.
