Prime Minister Musalia Mudavadi praised countries members of the Peace, security, cooperation framework (PSC) for their efforts to bring back stability, safety, and Peace in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Sudan, and the surrounding area of the Great Lakes.

He described the work done so far as a path toward a common aim that will aid in realising the regional economic community if Peace and stability are restored in the region's damaged countries.

In Bujumbura, Burundi, he addressed on behalf of President Ruto at the 11th High-Level Summit of the Regional Oversight Mechanism of the Peace, Security, and Cooperation (PSC) Framework for Heads of State and Government.

He told the summit that he urges all of them to contribute political goodwill, effort, and support to fully realize the Luanda-Led Peace Process and the EAC-Led Nairobi Process to restore Peace and stability in the Eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo. Additionally that they must be able to sustain their procedures because only they can bring lasting Peace to the Eastern DRC

The agenda of the summit was centred on analyzing the security situation in the Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), the Republic of Sudan, and the Region as a whole so that member nations may discuss on next moves.

According to Mudavadi, Kenya, led by President William Ruto, is firmly supportive of the regional member states' initiative to guarantee no lives are lost and no property is destroyed to restore normalcy to the region's affected countries, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Sudan being the most recently involved.

Several meetings have taken place as first steps toward drafting a road map for the restoration of the DRC and the Region's Peace, Security, and Cooperation Framework.

The Nairobi Process was launched by East African Community Heads of State's first, second, and third conclaves to resolve the peace and security situation in Eastern DRC.

 During the Conclaves, the Nairobi Process highlighted two tracks (political and military/security enforcement) as critical to achieving long-term Peace and stability in the Eastern DRC.
