Former U.S. Special Envoy for Haiti Dan Foote said in an exclusive interview on The Michael Patrick Leahy Show that former HP CEO Meg Whitman, who now serves as the U.S. Ambassador to Kenya, is the official behind the security deal between Kenya and Haiti.
Last month, Kenya and Haiti signed a security deal that provides for 1,000 Kenyan police officers to lead a peacekeeping mission in the Caribbean country to address chaos caused by gang violence since the 2021 the assassination of Haitian President Jovenel Moïse.
Foote, who was appointed as special envoy in July 2021 before exiting the position two months later due to the Biden Administration’s policy in regards to Haiti, said the deal between Kenya and Haiti was organized by Whitman, who came up with the idea “on her own.”
“From what I can tell, the U. S. Ambassador to Kenya, Meg Whitman, came up with this idea on her own,” Foote said.
Foote explained that Kenya accepted the deal to provide security to Haiti because it is a “cash cow” for the poor nation.
