President Wiliam Ruto has said that US President Donald Trump supports Kenya's mission in the Carribean country of Haiti.
The President said he was happy that the new administration in America is happy with Kenya's work in Haiti.
Ruto said Former President Joe Biden had called him last year and asked that Kenya provide the lead in the peace mission in Haiti.
"I was requested by the president of the United States last year to provide Kenya's security diplomacy that is also legendary and known to support Haiti,"'
"I am very proud that even President Trump with the new administration supports Kenya's mission in Haiti to help men, women and children of that nation."
The president spoke when there was anxiety in the country that the change in administration America could impact Kenya's programmes.
"There is a special bond of friendship between the United States and Kenya,'' President Ruto said when he addressed worshippers at the Global Cathedral in Nairobi.
"The United States is a blessing to our nation and we work together in many aspects."
There have been concerns that America could pull out funding for the Multinational Security Support Mission (MSS) in Haiti after Trump secured a second term.
Last week, the third contingent of 217 Kenyan police officers to the MSS that left arrived safely at Port-au-Prince Airport in Haiti where they were received by the Haitian authorities.
The team was escorted by the Deputy National Security Advisor/former Inspector General National Police Service, Joseph Boinnet, Deputy Inspector General Administration Police Service, Gilbert Masengeli and Commandant General Service Unit Ranson Lolmodoni.
The National Police Service said the next batch of the remaining 400 officers will also be joining the Haiti team in due time.
"The National Police Service takes this opportunity to wish the MSS success in their international policing duty,'' Kenya police said in a statement.
The mission currently has over 600 cops from Kenya.
More personnel are set to leave for Haiti on June 26 and in February.
MSS, headquartered in Port-au-Prince, is an international operation led by Kenya and authorised by the United Nations Security Council to assist the Haiti National Police in restoring peace, law and order amid threats of criminal gangs and violence.
There are currently police and military officers from Jamaica, and soldiers from the Bahamas, Belize, Guatemala and El Salvador.
