According to the post, gangs in Haiti have admitted to receiving payments from senior officials to confuse the country, and question the ongoing mission of International Security Assistance (MSS) led by Kenya.
Jimmy “Barbecue” Cherizier, leader of the VIV Ansanm gang, claimed the money was intended to put the current administration in power.
He also claimed that one of his allies meets regularly with senior officials to coordinate support.
The disclosure comes when the MSS missions are approaching the decision to be extended.
Concerns have already increased on the best gang weapons compared to Haitian police.
A recent report by the United Nations Office of Drugs and Crime (UNODC) warned that Haiti gangs have numerous Russian AK-47S weapons, American AR-15S, and Israeli Galil guns, with numerous weapons found in the United States and the Dominican Republic.
The development is in line with the support of the Haitian government to the US proposal to turn the MSS into a permanent Gangs (GSF).
The proposed squad will have 5,000 members, supported by the permanent operation office in Port-or-Prince, and the authority to conduct targeted operations against armed groups.
Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé told the UN Security Council that the GSF would be vital to restoring stability, reviving the economy, and organizing the country for reliable elections.
The Kenyan delegation has been interrupted by limited funding, poor equipment, and equipment restrictions.
The proposed GSF, however, promises to be more supportive, to ensure better coordination and efficiency.

The newspaper reports that a historic case has been filed in the Supreme Court demanding justice for Mau Mau fighters who say they were tortured by the abuse under Kenya’s first president, Jomo Kenyatta.
The 30 complainants, led by Joseph Mwenda, who identified himself as Field Marshal Mwariama, are questioning that the Kenyatta government has referred to them as terrorists, released police brutality, and silenced their land rehabilitation allegations.
The request, presented before Judge Chacha Mwita, condemns the Kenyatta administration for murder, torture, arbitrary arrest, jail, and seizures from UA UA fighters illegally despite their role in gaining independence from colonial rule.
The complainants, represented by attorney Tom Macharia, also want the court’s approval to announce the case in the newspapers to allow other Mau Mau and family members to join the case against the Attorney General and the National Human Rights and Equality Commission (KNHQRC).
Mwenda, now 90 years old, recalled that Kenyatta’s declaration against free land supply shocked Mau Mau -landless fighters.
He claimed that from 1961 to 1965, the Kenyatta government oppressed former fighters, removing leaders like General Baimungi Marete and General Leopard, whose bodies were publicly shown as a warning.
Mwenda also said his property, including land and car, was arrested after being jailed on suspicion.
The complainants question that Kenyatta had intentionally followed the policy to cancel the history of Mau Mau, to remove land claims, and to suppress the opposition.
They criticize the accompanying governments for ignoring their misery and failing to compensate or recognize.
The case signifies a new impetus to deal with historical abuses related to Kenyan leadership after independence.

According to this magazine, President William Ruto and Raila Odinga They have launched a strategy scheduled to counter the influence of former Internal Security Minister Fred Matiang’i in the Gusii area ahead of the 2027 general election.
The coalition aims to secure Kisii and Nyamira counties, where Matiang’i’s support threatens the political calculations of both leaders.
Matiang’i, a respected administrator, has changed the political practices of the region, and attracted major partners and undermined the traditional principles of Ruto and Raila.
Following the situation, the two leaders have organized consecutive meetings with Gusii officials in the Nairobi White House, led by Kisii Governor, Simba Arati, to submit development promises as an incentive.
Ruto launched reform projects, including over 22,000 cheap houses, modern student hostels, modern markets, and electricity connecting to over 32,000 homes in both counties.
Despite these changes, Gusii’s political situation is still divided. Several ODM MPs, including Antony Kibagendi and Kisii Senator Richard Onyonka, are openly supporting Matiang’i.
Local leaders dismissed the White House meetings because they were politically motivated and claimed that the promised projects had been salted or continued, questioning the truth of the national government cooperation.
Analysts warn that the coalition is facing great work. Kisii voters are obedient to Matiang’i, who includes the expectations of the locals.
The delay in the appointment of senior leaders in the region, including the Attorney General and PS Isaboke, has been considered future ideas.
Experts argue that development incentives alone cannot change the political trust based.
Preliminary negotiations, including Raila’s movement for Gusii’s MCAs, emphasized the rising war of the government.

According to a Swahili post, Binzaro’s investigation has revealed a controversial statement how the victims’ bodies were thrown into the forest and left to be eaten by wild animals in an obvious attempt to clear evidence.
Prosecutors told the court that many victims had never been buried, while others were placed in a cemetery with no depth of one foot, and made it clear to waste hunters.
Chief prosecutor Jami Yamina said the investigation has so far exposed 102 residues in the 400 -acre area, far more than the five acres of inspection, thus causing fears that more bodies have been hidden.
The Malindi court heard that four suspects would testify under the protection of witnesses against the chief suspect, Sharleen Temba Anido and three other defendants.
Judge Joy Wesonga also released four others for free bond and the strict terms of reporting.
Meanwhile, investigators wanted an additional 60 days to stop Anido, Kahindi Kazazi Garama, Thomas Mukonwe, and James Kazungu, citing safety dangers and the possibility of self -harm if they were released.
According to evidence presented by chief investigator Oliver Nabonwe, Binzaro suspects were directly linked to the murder of Shakahola, in which about 454 people died after being misled by preacher Paul Mackenzie.
The court was told that the four had drawn their followers into the so -called “holy journey to meet Jesus,” referring to the tragedy of Shakahola.
So far, 34 bodies and 102 artifacts have been found, and DNA samples have been collected by more than 50 witnesses interviewed.
