Kenya, Dominican Republic appeal for funds to aid Haiti mission
Kenya's Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi and Dominican Foreign Minister Roberto Alvarez walk on the day they sign a bilateral agreement in support of Kenyan police officers deployed in the Multinational Security Support Mission in Haiti, in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, May 12, 2025.
The top diplomats from Kenya and the Dominican Republic met in Santo Domingo on Monday and called on the international community to fulfil and expand its promised funding for the UN-backed security mission in neighbouring Haiti.
Dominican Foreign Minister Roberto Alvarez and his Kenyan counterpart Musalia Mudavadi warned that the Multinational Security Support (MSS) mission in Haiti is struggling to fight the country’s worsening gang violence effectively due to a lack of funding and logistical support.
