President Uhuru Kenyatta is expected to attend a regional security summit in Luanda, Angola which kicks off on Wednesday.
According to the Standard, the High-Level Regional Oversight Mechanism for Peace and Security Cooperation will focus on the security situation in the region as well as the situation in the DR Congo.
"The matter is urgent. Atrocities continue to be committed in DRC, and it is time to bring an end to the continued violence," said State House spokesperson Manoah Esipisu in a statement.
"The region is vital to the security and safety of the continent at large, and the President expects that an amicable solution to preserve the region's stability will be agreed in short order,” he added.
Esipisu further noted that Uhuru will express support for the process of dialogue in Burundi, which seeks common ground between all parties to the conflict.
In South Sudan, Esipisu said, Uhuru expects that the parties will honour the agreement to lay down arms, and to return to the process of building the nation, while meeting the serious humanitarian needs that have arisen as a consequence of the fighting over the last few years."
Esipisu added that while at the summit, Uhuru will also continue to lobby leaders in the southern and central African region to support CS Amina Mohammed’s candidacy for the AU Commission top post.
"It is imperative that we build a coalition across the continent in favour of Kenya's candidate if we are to get Amb. Amina elected – an election we think would considerably strengthen the AU Commission and its influence in global affairs," said Esipisu.
