Leave a Comment / PEOPLE / Queenter

US Secretary of State Nominee Macro Rubio has disclosed that the US President-elect Donald Trump might continue supporting the Multinational Security Support Mission in Haiti. This followed Trump\’s victory in the US 2024 elections where there had been uncertainties about the fate of the Haiti mission which was previously supported by Joe Biden\’s administration. This he said while speaking during the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. However, he suggested that restoring peace in Haiti would require the assistance from foreign partners. There are no easy answers, the Kenyans are there, and they deserve a lot of credit for being willing to take on that mission and in recent days missions from various countries have arrived. I don\’t think anyone has a master plan for how you fix that overnight. The US Secretary of State said. You have to establish a baseline security and it\’s not going to come from a US military intervention. So, I would include foreign partners in the Western Hemisphere, who should be contributing to this effort to provide some level of stability and security in Haiti so that you can explore the opportunities to have a transitional government that has legitimacy that can ultimately lead to the conduct of elections. He added. United States has provided more than Ksh.77 billion for the mission up to date despite facing opposition from the lawmakers in Parliament.

Inspector General of police Douglas Kanja and the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) boss Amin Mohammed have failed to appear in court again. They had been directed by Justice Chacha Mwita to produce three men who had been reportedly abducted in Mlolongo on December 16th, 2024, whether dead or alive and also appear personally in court. However, IG Douglas Kanja and DCI boss Amin Mohammed wanted to set aside orders requiring their presence in court over the alleged disappearance of the three men. Through their advocate Paul Nyamodi, the two said there is no proof of service that\’s on record as required by law. On the other hand, the petitioners led by the Law Society of Kenya said they were served properly. Justice Mwita responded by stating the orders he issued on January 8th and 13th requiring the IG and the DCI to produce the three missing in court whether dead or alive. The three missing men namely Justus Mutumwa, Martin Mwau and Karani Muema also stated that they were initially denied access to the court, and it took the intervention of the deputy registrar to grant them entry as said by Lawyer Dan Maazo. With the hearing is still pending, the High Court will on Thursday next weel rule whether it will set aside order requiring the presence of IG Douglas Kanja and DCI boss Amin in court over the alleged abduction.
