The Multinational Security Support Mission (MSS) in Haiti has revealed that Kenyan police salaries will be paid this week.
In a statement on Monday, the Mission stated that the accounts have been finalized.
“The process for the disbursement of salaries to the MSSM officers accounts has been finalized and it is expected that the same will soon be reflected in their individual bank accounts in the course of this week.”
“Going forward, elaborate mechanism has been put in place where payments will be promptly done at the end of the month,” read the statement.
Further, MSS added that there is nothing to worry about regarding the welfare of the MSS officers since mainstream processes have been finalized.

This was after the officers in the Haiti mission complained that they had yet to receive their salaries under the UN-backed operation.
Yesterday marked two months since the Kenyan police landed in Haiti to help the Caribbean country stabilize from criminal gangs.
The first team landed there on June 25, while the second one arrived a month later on July 16.
The team and their relatives in Kenya have since said they have not received the promised salaries.
However, the more than 400 officers already in the mission are receiving their salaries, which they had been getting while in Kenya.
Officials explained that each of the mission officers is supposed to receive at least Kes 100,000 above their salaries as police officers in Kenya.
The MSSM is anchored under the Human Rights Due Diligence Policy and Trust Fund, which is facilitated voluntarily by donor countries.
