President Mwai Kibaki on Friday sent a congratulatory message to the President, the Prime Minister, the parliament and the entire people of Somalia following the overwhelming endorsement of a new cabinet.
In the message, Kibaki noted that the people of Somalia have achieved another remarkable milestone in the democratic transition in the country.

Kibaki also called for reactivation of the Joint Commission for Cooperation (JCC) between Kenya and Somalia that was launched in Nairobi on March 29, 2008 that will work as a framework for future bilateral cooperation.
He further assured the people of Somalia of Kenya’s commitment at bilateral level and in concert with other well wishers to continue playing its role towards the realisation of a peaceful, secure and prosperous Somalia.
