"Nairobi Peace Process will resume in a matter of days under the leadership of former President Uhuru Kenyatta. Kenya is fully committed and wholly invested in the achievement of regional peace and security. We will support all initiatives to end conflict and bring stability and prosperity to East Africa and the Great Lakes Region," President Ruto said.
He further urged the international community through the United Nations to put more resources into the peace efforts by East and Southern Africa nations in the DRC.
The Head of State's remarks come after he flagged off a contingent of KDF soldiers to the Eastern DRC for a peacekeeping mission.
The Commander-in-Chief said that KDF was ready whenever called for peace missions, even as he promised to support DRC fully in restoring peace in the affected region.
