Kenya remains committed to attainment of peace in Somalia and South Sudan, President Uhuru Kenyatta has said.

Mr Kenyatta, who spoke yesterday when he met the US-Africa Command Commander, General Thomas Waldhauser, in Nairobi said efforts to achieve lasting peace had been negated by lack of capacity and proper military commands.
