President Kibaki returns from Addis Ababa

Nairobi , February 02, 2010
President Mwai Kibaki returned home this afternoon from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia where he attended the 14th Ordinary Session of the Assembly of Heads of State and Government.


While in Addis Ababa, President Kibaki addressed the AU summit and challenged African countries to continue developing national and regional strategies to climate change.


Noting that the severe effects of climate change threatened the very survival of nations and mankind, the President underscored the need for developed countries to agree on a legally binding agreement that would ensure stabilization of green house gases at levels that minimize global warming.


During the visit, President Kibaki also met and held talks with Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi. The two leaders instructed their respective Ministers of Energy to expedite the inter-connection of the power grids of the two countries.


The plane carrying President Kibaki and his entourage touched down at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport shortly before 4.00 p.m. and was received by Transport Minister Chirau Ali Mwakwere, Assistant Minister Orwa Ojode, Chief of General Staff Gen. Jeremiah Kianga and the Head of Public Service and Secretary to the Cabinet Amb. Francis Muthaura among other senior Government officials.
