The Multinational Security Support Mission (MSSM) in Haiti has announced that the salaries of police officers in the mission will be paid this week.
In a statement on Sunday, August 25, the agency disclosed that the process of disbursing the salaries had been finalised.
"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," read part of the statement from the mission.
It added that there was nothing to worry about the welfare of the police officers, maintaining that moving forward the payments would be made promptly at the end of the month.
"Going forward, an elaborate mechanism has been put in place where payments will be promptly done at the end of the month. Therefore, there is nothing to worry about the welfare issues of the MSS officers since mainstream processes have been finalized.

"The MSS officers remain committed, patriotic and focused on the success of the Mission as they believe and trust that their welfare issues are being addressed by the entire leadership (Kenya, the Trust Fund Advisory Board and the MSS)," the statement further read.
The statement comes amid concerns that the salaries of the Kenyan police officers leading the peacekeeping mission in the Caribbean nation were delayed.
The first batch of Kenyan police officers arrived in Haiti on June 25, which means that they have been in Haiti for at least two months.
The mission has been receiving financial support from many countries, including the United States of America, and it has already recorded many successes.
