President William Ruto has welcomed the resolution by the United Nations Security Council giving a go ahead for Kenya to lead a multi-national security force to violence-hit Haiti.
President Ruto hailed the UNSC resolution as an"overdue and critical instrument to define the multinational mission."
Ruto said the situation in Haiti, demands a moral responsibility and fundamental justice, emphasizing the need to escalate efforts in providing emergency relief, humanitarian aid, support for livelihoods, and substantial interventions in public health and environmental protection. President Ruto reiterated that the primary goal of the peace mission is to establish a conducive environment for both the political and civil society sectors in Haiti to usher in stability, development, and democratic governance through a framework owned and driven by the Haitian people.
"Today, we stand at the threshold of a sequence of reparative measures including debt cancellation to free Haiti from shackles of an ugly past that bind them even now," he added saying people of Haiti"deserved a break". President Ruto also commended the Caribbean Community's Eminent Persons Group, consisting of The Rt. Hon. Perry Christie, The Hon. Bruce Golding, and The Hon. Dr. Kenny D Anthony, for their unwavering commitment to the cause and their offer of CARICOM's good offices to the government and people of Haiti.
