Government spokesperson Isaac Mwaura has said the government's decision to deploy troops to Haiti has been politicised.
During his address to the media on Thursday, Mwaura acknowledged that his office wrote the statement that approved the deployment of police to the Caribbean nation on the day that the High Court halted the mission.
Kenya and Haiti last week signed the official deal with President Ruto and Haiti Prime Minister Ariel Henry witnessing the process.
Mwaura asked Kenyans to stop complaining and support the government in its mission to foster peace.
"Why are we complaining on matters of security when we have been given such help before? Let us be patriotic and support the government," he said.
Citing KDF deployment to Congo, the spokesperson said that Kenya has always worked with other nations to help them find peace.
He also noted that other countries have helped Kenya to strengthen its security.
Mwaura expressed concern over what he termed an online campaign to discourage the government from deploying troops to Haiti.
Responding to a question on why the government is not deploying the troops to troubled parts of the country, Mwaura said "Not deploying the soldiers to Haiti will not solve all of Kenya's insecurity problems."
He lauded the president's efforts in working with the African Union to champion reforms in the security sector.
Mwaura further asked Kenyans to 'trust the process' as the Kenya Kwanza government is working as promised in their manifesto during the campaign period.
Kenya and Haiti on Friday signed an agreement on the deployment of 1,000 police officers to the Multi-National Security Support Mission to the Caribbean nation.
Kenya agreed to lead the coordination of the international mission after a request by member states.
“Pursuant to this resolution, preparations for the mission commenced, including the authorisation procedures, preparation of mission documents, including the concept of operations, conduct and discipline policy, status protection agreement and the directive on detention, searches and use of force,” Ruto said.
