Kenya will not cede an inch of its territory. This is in reference to the maritime dispute with Somalia.

Foreign Affairs Cabinet Secretary ambassador Monica Juma says Kenya wants the matter resolved through mediation and not a court process.

Speaking Monday morning at a breakfast meeting with Kenyan editors, ambassador Juma demanded immediate withdrawal of the illegal maps by Somalia.

The CS urged Somalia to withdraw the suit it filed at the International Court of Justice to pay way for mediation.

She noted that Somalia jumped the gun by filing a case at the International Court of Justice, which in her view is the last option.

She said the preference of Kenya of peaceful resolution of the maritime dispute should not be misconstrued as a weakness but respect of the international law.
