“Let us consciously be aware at the back of our minds that that’s why we are supposed to produce this Mission Implementation Plan (MIP). It [MIP], therefore, has a significance that it is a tool to indicate how we are going to proceed. It is also a tool that the management is going to be using more frequently as a monitoring and evaluation tool. What is it that we intend to do, how do we intend to do it (and) whether we can do it.”

“AMISOM remains central to the Africa peace and security architecture. And Kenya will not waver in her commitment to the mission. It is Kenya’s strong desire to have a peaceful, stable and prosperous Somalia and on behalf of the Government of Kenya, I want to laud AMISOM for the critical role it continues to play in Somalia, particularly in the fight against Al-Shabaab; and for all the achievements it has realized to date. We also pay tribute to the Troop and Police Contributing Countries and in particular to our gallant women and men who served in AMISOM and paid the ultimate price in the quest to stabilize, to reconcile and bring security and peace to Somalia and indeed to our horn region and to the African continent.”
