Kenya is currently working with other partners to get United Nations (UN) mandate and resolution to take part in the peace-keeping mission in Haiti.
Cabinet Secretary for Foreign and Diaspora Affairs, Dr Alfred Mutua, yesterday said 10 other nations had indicated their willingness to send troops or finances to the mission.
Mutua said the Government of Haiti requested Kenya to lead a Police Mission to help stabilise and bring order to their country.
“We have had our successful tours by our military and police in Namibia, Sierre Leone, East Timor, Bosnia among other nations. We have been at the forefront in peace keeping and democratic initiatives in South Sudan, Somalia and the DRC,” he added.
Mutua said Kenya has successfully concluded her participation at the 78th Session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York.
During his visit to the USA, President Ruto met with influential captains of various industries, including the global tech giants.
Kenya signed into the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) Agreement that committed to grant Kenya USD 60 Million to improve public transport in Nairobi. This will ease traffic jams in Nairobi, especially in Gikomba and Kamukunji areas.
“The President also held several bilateral meetings and witnessed the signing of several agreements in sports, the environment, finance and many other areas for the benefit of the Kenyan people,” the minister said.
Mutua said the bilateral frameworks of cooperation have been instrumental in expanding market access for Kenyan goods and services.
