Former President Uhuru Kenyatta will on Sunday arrive in Kinsasha, Democratic Republic of the Congo for peace process.
According to B-One TV, a television station in Kinshasa, Uhuru will meet President Félix Tshisekedi.
The meeting will include other actors involved in this peace process and security in Eastern DRC.
He is also expected to meet nearly fifty representatives of the communities of the provinces of Ituri, North and South Kivu as well as heads of institutions.
The meeting comes as the first batch of Kenyan troops were deployed to DRC to fight M23 rebels in a joint regional operation.
Chief of the Kenya Defence Forces General Robert Kibochi saw off the team at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.
Gen Kibochi told the troops to remember their joint mission with other East African Community states to enforce peace.
He urged the officers to obey the law of the land as they are deployed.
"We are known to follow the law wherever we go. Respect the chiefs of defence where you go," Kibochi said.
The departure follows approval by the National Assembly Defence committee after a request made by President William Ruto.
In June, in his capacity as EAC chair, Uhuru called for the deployment of the East African Regional force to the DRC to quell growing insecurity.
"The hostilities, in particular, threaten to undermine the ongoing political process aimed at addressing the security situation," he said.
