Haitian Prime Minister Garry Conille has raised concerns over delays in funding for the Kenyan-led mission aimed at stabilising the country.

"Unfortunately, the resources are not enough and not coming quickly enough. We understand that there are a lot of emergencies going on and heavy fatigue, but the good news is that there is hope."
He acknowledged the global challenges and the strain on international aid but stressed the importance of meeting the current needs in Haiti.
Conille also underscored the potential consequences of failing to meet the mission's funding requirements, stating that the expectations might be shattered.
"The arrival of the Kenyans has created expectations, and we need to meet this expectation, or the whole system crumbles, including the credibility of the transitional government," he said.
The international partners supporting Haiti's security sector on August 8 held a joint forum at Montana Hotel where Conille was the chief guest.
The Canadian ambassador to Haiti chaired the meeting Andre Francois Giroux who pointed out it had come at a crucial time where all international actors needed to read through the same script.
He pointed out the MSS mission was critical to Haiti hence the need for all the actors to ensure that they fully supported it
Those in attendance included US ambassador to Haiti Dennis Bruce Hankins and Maria Isabel Salvador (BINUH) senior representatives from Bahamas, EU, Spain, France, Argentina, Brazil, Japan, Mexico, Chile, Swiss and UN agencies.
Conille passionately appealed to international partners to support Haiti especially the Haitian National Police (HNP) who despite their numbers, lacked resources and weapons.
He called for quick intervention as the country was preparing for the next general elections next year.
“There is therefore need to guarantee security as it is the key to free and fair elections,” he said.
The Director General Haitian National Police (HNP) Normil Rameu pressed on the international partners to equip and support the HNP.
