Kenya's MSSM mission in Haiti faces temporary salary delays, but payments will be made within the week.

The Multinational Security Support Mission (MSSM) in Haiti, led by Kenya, has faced issues with delayed salary payments for Kenyan police officers participating in the mission. However, the MSSM has explained that the delay was due to the finalisation of payment processes and that the salaries will be paid to the officers' accounts within the week. The MSSM, supported by the United Nations, was established to help stabilize Haiti, which has been facing issues with criminal gangs. The Kenyan police officers, along with the Haitian National Police, have made significant progress in their operations against criminal gangs, taking control of key areas such as a local port, a national hospital, and a major road. The mission aims to work towards restoring peace and stability in Haiti and ensuring free and fair elections. The MSSM has further received equipment and vehicles from France and the United States to aid their operations and has received personnel support from other countries such as Benin, Jamaica, the Bahamas, Belize, Barbados, Antigua and Barbuda, Bangladesh, Algeria, Canada, and France.
