Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka has criticised the deployment of Kenyan police officers to Haiti under the Multinational Security Support (MSS) mission, terming it unlawful.

Speaking at a funeral in Machakos, Kalonzo claimed that the mission, which has so far resulted in the death of one officer while another remains missing, contravenes the United Nations Security Council's mandate. "It is the responsibility of the UN Security Council to ensure international peace and security, but the deployment was a bilateral arrangement between Kenya and United States of America under the regime of President Joe Biden," he said.
