Kenyan officers serving under the Multinational Security Support (MSS) mission are paid on time, and there are no plans by the officers to resign over salary delays, according to MSS Spokesperson Jack Ombaka.

The government has responded, dismissing claims of officers planning to resign over salary delays.  Speaking during an interview on NTV, Ombaka maintained that the mission in Haiti has been positive, with the officers making great strides in the war against the gangs operating in the Caribbean nation.  According to Ombaka, the delays experienced in the disbursement of the salaries could be mainly attributed to the bureaucracy involved in the processing of money between the US and the National Treasury in Kenya.  ''Our coming here was God-sent because we have helped the Haitians in a very being way.

If we would not have come here, the situation could have been worse.

Not a single officer has deserted duty or resigned," Ombaka stated.  The fourth contingent of Kenyan police officers arriving at the Toussaint Louverture International Airport (TLIA) in Haiti on February 6, 2025.
