Kenya has already sent an advance party of three military officers to our country and they should be back this week, “ Rwandan Ambassador to Kenya Joy Mukanyage told IRIN. According to the Rwandan Ambassador the agreement stipulates that Kenya sends instructors to Rwanda to train troops. “Kenya has the capacity and infrastructure to train our people, and this will benefit both countries,” she added. Diplomatic sources told IRIN that the agreement followed the meeting in Kenya in June this year between President Arap Moi of Kenya and Paul Kagame of Rwanda.
