Ruto gives Way Forward on Haiti Deployment after New Prime Minister Appointed: The head of state, William Ruto has maintained that Kenya is still willing to send officers to support Haiti in their transitional phase and restore peace amid intrusion from terror gangs.
Ruto stated,” The swearing-in of the Transitional Presidential Council (TPC) today is a crucial step in the political transition of Haiti. The TPC has the singular task of moving speedily to re-establish key organs of the State critical to the restoration of law and order and necessary for the ushering of hope to all Haitians as prescribed by the Decree of April 12, 2024,”
“In implementing the roadmap contained in this political accord, Kenya stands ready and willing-in concert with a broad alliance of nations in Africa and CARICOM- committed to Haiti’s stability, to rapidly execute the security support infrastructure envisaged under UN Security Council 2699 (2023). Kenya assures the TPC of Haiti of its full support as it shepherds the country through this complex interregnum,” he added.
The former Prime Minister Ariel Henry, officially signed his resignation letter on the 24th April 2024, clearing way for TPC to take charge of Haiti.
Ariel stated,” Given the current state of affairs, this is the time was right for me to step down. We have served the nation in difficult times. I thank everyone who dared to face such challenges with me. I sympathise with the losses and suffering endured by our compatriots during this period.”
Michel Patrick Boisvert will now take over as acting prime minister, who will oversee the council, reform the constitution and organize elections come 2026.
Michael stated,” Haiti, our country, finds itself at a crossroads, in search of ideal solutions to emerge from this multidimensional political crisis that has lasted too long. This day opens the prospect of a solution.”
