According to Namwamba, nothing has changed: “Somalia -Kenya ties are steeped in a history of shared destiny. For the past several months, Kenya and Somalia have been sparring over maritime border due to oil in the area. Because of the negative image that the international community has of the state of affairs in Africa, Kenya has even more opportunity to show that this is not the case. The imposition of culturally inappropriate practices and forms of governance will not last more than a few years at best. That’s why I support Uhuru’s decision to keep the maritime row separate from the full scope of our diplomatic relations.
