A dispatch from the State House stated that the opening of a Consulate in Port-au-Prince "will provide strategic support to Kenya’s leadership role in restoring law and order in the Caribbean Nation."

"The Cabinet approved the establishment of a Consulate General in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. This decision underscores Kenya’s commitment to promoting global peace and security while expanding diplomatic presence in the Caribbean. The consulate will provide strategic support to Kenya’s leadership role in restoring law and order in Haiti," the Cabinet stated.

The Kenyan Consulate in Haiti will be headed by former Deputy Inspector General of Police Noor Gabow, whose appointment as Consul General to Haiti was approved by the Kenyan National Assembly in January 2025.

Kenya, which leads multinational security support to Haiti, has so far deployed more than 800 police officers to restore peace in gang-ravaged Haiti. Furthermore, following his initial statement announcing the upcoming departure of 400 Kenyan police officers, https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-44793-haiti-news-zapping.html , Commissioner Jack Ombaka, spokesperson for the Multinational Security Support Mission (MMSS), provided further details on the planned rotations among the ranks of Kenyan officers on a radio station in the capital. "[...] In the contract signed by Kenya, rotations within our ranks were planned after one year. The first contingent of approximately 200 officers arrived in the country on June 25. Their rotation is scheduled to take place next June, but this has not yet been determined or confirmed."
