The official closing of the Nairobi process of the DRC peace talks was postponed to Tuesday, December 6, after an earlier planned event failed to take place.
The postponement came after several delegates walked out in protest over unpaid allowances.
It happened at the event's last minute ahead of its closure on Monday, December 5.
This forced the leader of the peace talks former President Uhuru Kenyatta to intervene and assured those in protest they will be paid.
The talks brought together representatives of the DRC government, major rebel groups, survivors of the conflict and civil societies for the first time.
Kenyatta was appointed by the East African Community as the facilitator of peace talks in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The talks are meant to create avenues for bringing back peace in eastern DRC where more than 120 armed groups are fighting.
There was a scheduled announcement by Kenyatta at the end of the meeting on December 5 but that was affected after a faction of rebel groups staged a walkout claiming they had not been properly engaged in the peace process.
They also lamented over the lack of payment of allowances.
Kenyatta intervened and pleaded with the delegates to allow him to postpone the meeting to Tuesday as he tries to address the concerns raised.
"I would like to postpone this meeting and ask we meet here tomorrow at 10 am," he said.
"We know we have enough funds and I know because I was one of the people who helped source the money to help in bringing peace to the DRC."
He assured the delegates that all the issues would be addressed by the time the meeting starts, saying if that does not happen, he will ensure that no other funds will be released for the peace talks.
Kenyatta said he will also report the people who were in charge of organizing the peace talks to their leaders.
"Maybe they think I am no longer powerful but I have the ear and attention of their leaders so they better bring what is your rightful dues," he said.
Kenyan troops are among the regional forces in the DRC to foster peace.
They joined others from Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi and Tanzania on the mission in Eastern DRC.
President William Ruto ordered the deployment of 903 soldiers from KDF to join a regional peacekeeping mission-the East African Community Regional Force to the Democratic Republic of Congo.
