Mr Ruto’s comments came as he concluded a three-day trip to Washington DC, the first official state visit of any African leader to the US in over 15 years.
During his trip, the White House called for the swift deployment of the Kenyan-led multinational force, after a US couple was named among three missionaries killed in Haiti on Friday.
“I have a team already in Haiti as I speak to you,” Mr Ruto told the BBC on Friday.
“That will give us a frame of what things look like on the ground, the capabilities that are available, the infrastructure that has been set up.”
