The Multinational Security Support (MSS) has been made aware of reports circulating on various media platforms, attributed to Reuters News, claiming that some members of the MSS Kenya contingent are considering resigning due to delayed payment of allowance.
The statement said.
The MSS categorically refutes these claims. Reuters News did not reach out to the MSS for clarification, and the information being disseminated is both inaccurate and malicious. All MSS personnel have received their salaries, including monthly allowances, and no MSS officer has tendered their resignation as alleged.
The MSS added in their statement.
The MSS further stated that they remain highly motivated and fully committed in supporting the Haitan National Police (NHP) in conducting decisive operations aimed at dismantling gang networks and restoring stability.
We urge all stakeholders, including local and international media, to seek clarification media, to seek clarification directly from the MSS before publishing any reports. Our doors remain open for transparent communication. The MSS remain resolute in its mission to help Haitan reclaim its glory and retore peace and security for its people.
The statement also said.
Officers from other countries have arrived in Haiti.
A pledge in October by Kenyan President William Ruto to send another 600 officers the following month did not push forward.
