(Nairobi) 19 Feb 2019<\/strong><\/span> – MPs will this morning question Foreign Affairs CS Monica Juma on the diplomatic row between Kenya and Somalia.<\/p>\n

National Assembly\u2019s Defence and Foreign Relations Committee chairman Katoo Metito said they want to know the circumstances that led to summoning of Kenya\u2019s ambassador to Somalia.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to get a detailed brief on what really transpired and the way forward,\u201d Metito told the Star by phone yesterday.<\/p>\n

The meeting had been scheduled with the ministry to discuss Budget Policy Statement but \u201cwe have to spare time to look into this matter of public interest,\u201d the Kajiado South MP said.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, PS Macharia Kamau issued a statement that was interpreted to mean that Kenya had recalled its ambassador to Mogadishu and expelled Somalia\u2019s envoy to Nairobi. Kamau said Somalia had auctioned oil and gas blocks in maritime areas claimed by both countries. The auction is said to have happened in London on February 7. Somalia denied the claim.<\/p>\n

Macharia later said the Kenyan ambassador had only been summoned while his Somalia counterpart had been sent to Mogadishu for consultation. \u201cThe action was taken so we can resolve this matter with credible and correct information from both sides,\u201d Kamau tweeted.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, Somalia said it was not offering oil and gas blocs in the disputed waters for auction. \u201cSomalia is not offering, nor does it have any plans to offer any blocks in the disputed maritime area until the parties\u2019 maritime boundary is decided by the ICJ,\u201d the country\u2019s embassy said.<\/p>\n

Sources said it took the intervention of Juma and State House for Somalia to cool down and downplay the spat. More diplomatic interventions were expected yesterday with Juma expected in Mogadishu after she returns from the Munich Security Conference.<\/p>\n

Yesterday the ministry defended the PS saying he consulted. \u201cThose are speculations. The PS read the release as it were. He was in constant communication with the CS and she was aware of the statement,\u201d the ministry\u2019s head of communication Jane Kariuki told the Star by phone.<\/p>\n

Former Foreign minister Moses Wetang\u2019ula yesterday said Kenya and Somalia signed an agreement that placed the disputed Indian Ocean waters in Kenyan territory.<\/p>\n

The Bungoma senator said he signed the deal during President Mwai Kibaki\u2019s administration.<\/p>\n

Wetang\u2019ula did not say the exact year when the deal was inked. He served as Foreign minister between 2008 and 2010 and again from 2011 to 2012.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs Foreign Affairs minister, I negotiated with the Somalia Government at that time. We signed the agreement to have the latitudinal boundary,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe deposited the agreement with the AU, and later deposited the maps with the UN. The matter went uninterrupted for quite some time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wetang\u2019ula spoke at his Ford Kenya party headquarters in Nairobi. He called for Kenya\u2019s heightened activities in the disputed area. \u201cYou have your territory by occupation and Kenya should engage its friends by showing active presence.\u201d<\/p>\n
