Foreign Affairs Principal Secretary Korir Sing'oei has refuted allegations that Kenya cut electricity supply to the Embassy of the Democratic Republic of Congo over a dispute.
In response to online reports that were shared on social media, Sing'oei termed the reports as unfounded.
He also urged the public to disregard the information that was being circulated by some bloggers.
"Unfounded, baseless, and idle chatter," the PS responded.
Reports that had been shared online alleged that the government cut off the electricity of the DRC embassy after the foreign nation recalled its ambassador.
This followed the dispute that emerged between Kenya and DRC over the controversial press briefing that was held by DRC opposition leaders over President Felix Tshisekedi's regime.
"A few days ago there was a diplomatic disagreement between Kenya and DRC. In response, Kenya allegedly cut off the electricity supply to the embassy in Nairobi and removed the tarmac from the road leading to the embassy.
"This embassy is located on Karura Avenue in Muthaiga, near the Belgium embassy," one of the online reports read in part.
Kenya and DRC have shared a frosty relationship in recent months. Notably, barely a week ago, Priime Cabinet Secretary flew to DRC to hold negotiations with officials from Tshisekedi's government.
It was noted that the talks centered around restoring bilateral corporations between the two countries.
During his visit, Mudavadi also delivered a special message from President William Ruto to Tshisekedi.
"Additionally, the Prime Cabinet Secretary engaged in constructive discussions with H.E. Christophe Lutundula Apala Pen Apala, the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Democratic Republic of Congo, focusing on various issues of mutual interest.
"These bilateral discussions took place in a friendly and cordial atmosphere, resulting in the establishment of three key agreements aimed at strengthening cooperation between Kenya and the DRC," read the statement in part.
