MOMBASA, Kenya, Sep 21 – President Uhuru Kenyatta has applauded President Salva Kiir and the people of South Sudan for the progress achieved in search of peace and stability in their country and the neighbouring Republic of Sudan. 

The President said the milestones made in the South Sudan peace process since the commencement of the transition period in February this year were as a result of sacrifices made by parties to the conflict.

“I commend my brother President Salva Kiir and people of South Sudan for the positive steps they have taken to ensure the transition period begins on a firm foundation,” the President said. 

President Kenyatta spoke Monday morning when he received special envoys of President Salva Kiir at State House, Mombasa.

Further, the Head of State urged for the fast tracking of pending issues in the peace accord key among them the reconstitution of the Transitional Legislative Assembly (TNLA). 

President Kenyatta and the envoys also spoke about the peace process in the Republic of Sudan and commended President Kiir for his diplomatic engagements which led to the Juba Peace Process.
