Thursday, February 17, 2022 – Deputy President William Ruto has send a delegation to calm the tension triggered by his recent comments on DRC Congo.
Hussein Mohamed from the Communication unit alongside Ababu Namwamba led the team on Thursday February 17 to meet the DRC Head of Missions Madam Malenga Omoy Charlotte.
Ababu Namwamba who is the newly appointed Head of International Relations in Ruto’s secratraiat was in the team as a person who has experience in international matters having served in the Foreign Affairs Ministry as chief Administrative Secretary CAS for the past few years.
They met Ms Charlotte after paying her a courtesy call and both discussed the relationship matters between the two countries.
“DRC Head of Missions Madam Malenga Omoy Charlotte has assured that our bilateral relations remain intact and that the existing formal diplomatic channels of communication take precedence. @AbabuNamwamba paid her a courtesy call.
“Ababu is the WSR presidential secretariat Head of International Relations. We both agree that cordial sister countries always leave room for engagement through formal diplomatic channels in the face of any issues,” partly read the statement from the Secretariat.
This was part of the efforts by DP William Ruto to calm tension that was brewing between Congo and Kenya after he made disparaging comments against the former during his recent Nyeri tour.
Ruto claimed that Congo has no single livestock and the only thing they know better is dancing to their Ndombolo tunes; remarks that triggered a heavy backlash from leaders across Africa.
