Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi on Saturday defended President William Ruto's recent diplomatic strategies aimed at consolidating peace within the East African region, among them sending peace emissaries to South Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Speaking during an Iftar dinner in Malindi, Kilifi County, Mudavadi maintained that the President was not overstepping on his mandate as his critics had portrayed.

According to the PCS, the government is actively taking the peace process in its neigbouring countries to prevent a spillover effect of the instability in the neighbouring countries in Kenya.  ''When peace effort comes from Kenya, people tend to think that we are wasting efforts.

I want to tell you that if all these countries become insecure around us, the instability will spill over to our country,'' Mudavadi asserted.  Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi during the Regional Ministerial roundtable session on Open Government Partnership on Tuesday, March 25, 2025.
