"content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I beg to move the following Motion- THAT, taking into consideration the recommendation of the Joint Report of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Security of the National Assembly and the Standing Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations of the Senate regarding the proposed deployment of officers of the National Police Service to the Multinational Security Support (MSS) Mission for Haiti, laid on the table of the Senate on Wednesday 15th November, 2023, and pursuant to the provisions of Article 240(8)(a) of the Constitution, the Senate approves the deployment of officers of the National Police Service to the Multinational Security Support (MSS) mission for Haiti. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I shall be brief in moving, so that a number of our Members will have a moment to contribute to this. Parliament received a request from the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and National Administration vide a letter dated 19th October, 2023, conveying to Parliament the resolution of the National Security Council to the Speakers of the Senate and National Assembly, seeking the approval by Parliament of the deployment of officers of the NPS to MSS Mission for Haiti, pursuant to Article 280(8)(a) of the Constitution. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this request emanated from a resolution, this is very important, No.26399 of 2023 of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) adopted on 2nd October, 2023, authorizing MSS to Haiti under Chapter Seven of the Charter of the United Nations (UN), end resolution of the National Security Council (NSC) in our country, Minute 29 of 2023 of the NSC, seeking Parliament’s approval for the deployment for the National Police Service to the MSS support. It is important for the House that the request of the Cabinet Secretary indicated that on 13th October, 2023, the National Security Council considered and approved a memorandum from the Cabinet Secretary and the Attorney-General of the proposed deployment of officers from the National Police Service to the Multinational Security Support. It is important to emphasize at this point that the request for Kenya to deploy our police service to Haiti is a resolution of the UNSC, requesting our country to participate and lead the entire security team support to Haiti. It has been noted that it is not the decision of this country on her own Motion. We were responding, as a country, to a resolution of the UN having received a request from Haiti."
