Former Ruto Minister Commends Conclusion of Kenya’s ‘Misadventure’ in Haiti Following UN Vote


Former Senior Economic Adviser to the President, Moses Kuria, has expressed his approval of a UN mandate for a Gang Suppression Force (GSF) in Haiti, asserting that this decision brings to an end what he referred to as Kenya’s “misadventure” in the Caribbean nation.

  Kuria lauded the UN Security Council for passing Resolution 2793, which authorizes the GSF for a duration of 12 months under Chapter VII of the UN Charter, effectively superseding the Kenya-led Multinational Security Support (MSS) whose mandate is set to expire on October 2.   “I commend the UN Security Council for the resolution to establish a Global Force for Haiti. This should now conclude the Kenyan unilateral mission and terminate the misadventure,” Kuria stated on Wednesday. The outspoken former minister called upon Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja to reassign the returning Kenyan officers to the streets of Nairobi to assist in addressing the escalating insecurity. “I urge the Inspector General to deploy the returning forces to the streets of Nairobi to put an end to the daylight muggings and pickpocketings,” he added. Kuria has emerged as one of the most vocal critics of Kenya’s involvement in Haiti in recent weeks. On September 24, he directly accused former US Ambassador to Kenya Meg Whitman of influencing what he characterized as Kenya’s “misadventure” in leading the MSS. In a statement, Kuria claimed that Whitman, who held her position in Nairobi from 2022 to 2024, exerted excessive influence over Kenya’s foreign policy, including the deployment of police officers to Haiti. “Ambassador Meg Whitman effectively governed Kenya for two years. The Haiti misadventure was among the numerous personal decisions she made. Anthony Blinken was powerless in her presence. Kenya will bear the consequences of Meg’s reign of terror for a long time to come,” Kuria asserted.

  The most recent report from the Auditor General for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024, has uncovered mismanagement at Enoomatasiani High School under the administration of Principal Tabitha Mbabu (TSC No. 224359). There are calls for her transfer over mismanagement and not very impressive academic excellence under her leadership. As per the report, the statement of receipts and payments indicates that the school's fund income from parents' contributions amounts to Kshs. 89,627,445, as detailed in Note 4 of the financial statements. An examination of the school's fee structure during the review period revealed that the school fees were raised beyond the limits set by the Ministry of Education (MOE), resulting in an unauthorized increase in annual fees of Kshs. 15,000 for form one students and Kshs. 18,000 for students in other classes. This action contravenes Regulation 44 of the Basic Education Regulations, 2015, which stipulates that no public school or instit...

A report from the Auditor General for the period ending June 30, 2024, has issued serious recommendations regarding the management led by Principal Jane Mureithi, who took charge on May 23, 2022. The report indicates that the school is technically insolvent and is operating at a deficit, leading to significant pending bills. The report reveals that the statement of assets and liabilities shows a current liabilities balance of Kshs. 27,728,458, which surpasses the current assets balance of Kshs. 22,763,448, resulting in a negative working capital of Kshs. 4,965,010.

However, this significant uncertainty has not been reflected in the financial statements. Under these circumstances, the school may struggle to fulfill its short-term financial obligations as they become due. The statement of assets and liabilities indicates an accounts...
