Saboti Constituency Member of Parliament Caleb Amisi has asked President William Ruto to immediately call off the Multinational Security Support Mission (MSS) in Haiti to avert further loss of police officers’ lives.
Speaking at Tuwan Primary school during the official opening of 12 classrooms, Amisi said the government of Kenya is not telling Kenyans the truth about the risky security mission in the Caribbean country.
“Our special officers are being butchered and eaten by Haitian gangs. We cannot allow this to continue while we watch. President Ruto should withdraw our troops from Haiti,” the MP stated.
Amisi, a member of the Intelligence and Foreign Relations Committee in the National Assembly, said the United Nations-backed mission is of no value to Kenya.
“As a country, we are fighting a proxy war for America. What value do we get from this security mission?” he asked.
How many Kenyan police have been killed in Haiti?
Amisi’s call comes at a time when two families in Kenya are mourning the loss of their sons. The two are Samuel Tompoi Kaeteuai, who was fatally shot in January 2025 and Benedict Kabiru, who was ambushed and killed on 25 March 2025 in Savien.
Kenya has about 800 special officers in the Kenya-led mission. Other countries with troops in Haiti are Jamaica, Guatemala and El Salvador.
The vocal lawmaker also took a swipe at a section of Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Coalition MPs who have neglected their oversight role.
“They have now coiled their tails and joined Ruto’s praise and worship team. I won’t join them, and I remain committed to telling Ruto’s regime the truth,” he further stated.
Amisi is one of the Western region and ODM legislators who are opposed to the recently founded working relationship between Ruto and ODM Party Leader Raila Odinga.
