The pronouncement comes after DRC on Saturday recalled its ambassador to Kenya amid deepening tension between the two countries following the launch of a new Congolese military alliance, including rebels, in Nairobi. 'Kenya strongly disassociates itself from any utterances or activities likely to injure the peace and security of the friendly Nation of DRC and has commenced investigation to determine the identities of the makers of the statement and the extent to which their utterances fall outside constitutionally protected speech,' the Prime CS said.

He affirmed Kenya's commitment to supporting the peace, security, and democratic consolidation of the DRC. Mudavadi said the Kenyan government was in no way involved in the press conference adding that it is not a party to the internal affairs of DRC. As such, nationals and non-nationals may engage the Kenyan media without reference to the government,' he said. 'The Ministry wishes to note that Kenya is an open and democratic state where freedom of the press is vouchsafed. 'The Ministry of Foreign and Diaspora Affairs of the Republic of Kenya refers to press reports that some nationals of the Democratic Republic of Congo claiming association with rebel groups within DRC addressed a press conference in Nairobi and made statements that are prima facie inimical to the constitutional order of theDemocratic Republic of Congo,' Mudavadi said. He, however, noted that the press conference was held in Nairobi on the grounds that Kenya allows freedom of the press for both its citizens and non-citizens. Kenya's Prime Cabinet Secretary and Foreign Affairs Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi has said the country had no hand in the outcome of the presser.
