Kenya is not at war with its neighbours and will endeavour to resolve any arising differences diplomatically, Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi has said.
Speaking on Sunday, January 21, in Machakusi, Teso South Constituency, Mudavadi dismissed reports that Kenya is in a diplomatic spat with its regional neigbours terming the claims as false and misleading.
"Our brothers and sisters in media, please know Kenya is not at war with any of its neighbours. The correct position on this matter is that President William Ruto is on the front line of fostering peace in the region.
"The President is working to bring peace in nations within our region that are facing internal or cross border conflicts because the wars could find their way into Kenya," the Prime Cabinet Secretary stated.

Mudavadi noted that President William Ruto leadership is working tirelessly to see to it that Kenya’s diplomatic stand is strengthened not only regionally or across Africa but beyond the continent.
He said his Ministry will continuously foster good international reputation and Kenya will not allow any differences that will place it at loggerheads with any of the countries it is partnering with in various spheres of economic, political and social advancements.
“In war, there are no winners, everybody is a loser but in peace, there are no losers," remarked Mudavadi.
Mudavadi mentioned that collaborative efforts in achieving key resolutions to any emerging diplomatic spats should be encouraged within the East African Community region.
He said the EAC mission aims at widening and deepening economic, political, social and cultural integration to improve the quality of life of the people through increased competitiveness, value-added production, trade and investments.
