Kenyan Foreign Minister Bonaya Godana visited Kinshasa on Thursday to deliver a "special message" from President Daniel arap Moi to President Kabila. A foreign ministry spokesman in Nairobi told IRIN on Friday the message was confidential but related to efforts aimed at achieving peace in DRC.
Godana told reporters in Kinshasa that Kenya was seeking a broad range of participants for the national debate, due to take place in Nairobi. "We are holding the necessary consultations and contacts with all the groups that are needed at the debate. We want a very wide participation, the participation of all the legitimate stakeholders," Godana said, according to DRC television. He added that a date for the Nairobi meeting would be
announced soon. DRC Foreign Minister Abdoulaye Yerodia said this week it could be around 14 May, Reuters reported.
