  • Deputy President William Ruto has moved to calm tensions triggered by his comments, which were perceived as disparaging in Kinshasa.

    Director of Communications, WSR Presidential Campaign, Hussein Mohamed on Thursday, February 17, announced that the DP sent a team led by the Head of International Relations in his presidential campaign secretariat Ababu Namwamba.

    Mohamed was also in the delegation, alongside the legal advisor in the Office of the Deputy President, Korir Simg’oei.

    The team met with the Democratic Republic of Congo Head of Missions Madam Malenga Omoy Charlotte after they paid her a courtesy call in her Nairobi offices.

    According to Mohamed, Malenga assured them that the two country’s bilateral relations remain unchanged despite the DP’s comments that triggered public outcry in the DRC.

    “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,” the statement from the Secretariat read in part.
