I would urge the leadership of this country that when they appoint deputy ambassador to Somalia, they should consider age. We need somebody who will study him and understand how he will mitigate the challenges of Somalia. Peace in Somalia is peace in Kenya. The challenges that Kenya is facing today are partly because of the instability in Somalia. So, it is in our interest, as a country, to ensure that we have a very strong person there who will ensure that there is peace in Somalia. That way, we will also enjoy peace in Kenya. Having said that, there are very fundamental things that need to be done in Somalia. One such thing that I would encourage the new ambassador to support Somalia in is education. Education has a way of equalising people. When you have education, your thinking is different. Part of the ways of managing the Al Shabaab issue is to ensure that the youths in Somalia go to school and get quality education. With that, you get some pride and you will not be misused by the warlords, for lack of a better word, to cause chaos because you know that you are going to hurt people. Education should also be emphasised as a way of resolving the conflict in Somalia because it has a way of helping people to understand things from a different perspective."
