\/>\n<p>Kenya and Ethiopia have agreed on a water sharing framework to bring an end to the animosity between communities living on both sides of the border.<\/p>\n<p>The two countries have resolved to come up with an elaborate plan on the issue of shared trans-boundary resources and their utilisation.<\/p>\n<p>Internal Security minister George Saitoti who visited Addis Ababa said the two countries have formed a technical committee to study the viability of the project which will commence soon.<\/p>\n<p>Kenya and Ethiopia resolved to conduct a joint security exercise while identifying competition for resource as a source of conflict among communities on both sides<\/p>\n<p>Saitoti said both governments agreed to deploy choppers along the border to inspect and establish the source of the rescission of the waters in Lake Turkana Lake &#8220;Let me emphasise that Kenya identifies the issue of trans-boundary resources including the Lake Turkana and River Omo, and River Daua Basins, which are critical in the light of the fragile ecological zone shared by the two countries,&#8221; the minister who also is also acting in the Foreign Ministry portfolio said. &#8220;Kenya and Ethiopia enjoy special relationship underpinned by bonds of friendship based on undeniable historical, cultural and political factors,&#8221; Professor Saitoti said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In this regard, Kenya presented a draft comprehensive framework agreement for the sustainable management and equitable utilization of shared natural resources,&#8221; the Minister said.<\/p>\n<p>Saitoti spoke at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport on Friday upon return from Addis Ababa where he was accompanied by fellow cabinet Ministers John Michuki (Environment), Chirau Mwakwere (Trade), James Orengo (Lands) and Otieno Kajwang (Immgigration).<\/p>\n<p>He said the Ethiopian government had agreed to undertake a comprehensive study of the basin and to comment on the draft comprehensive framework agreement.<\/p>\n<p>Other agreements signed between the two countries include a bilateral agreement which will give impetus to &#8220;our efforts to grow and expand the volume of trade.&#8221; &#8220;We also signed agreements on cooperation in agriculture and in cooperative development towards strengthening collaboration in these key areas of national development,&#8221; Prof Saitoti added.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, Merille tribesmen attacked the Kenyan side, killing at least 40 Turkana people over what authorities have linked to the scramble for natural resources along Lake Turkana.&#8221;The persistent challenges relating to the competition for limited resources draws more attention on this matter of mutual strategic interests to the two countries.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>During the negotiations, the Minister said, the two sides reaffirmed commitment to the international law and principles of equitable sharing of shared resources and ensuring no harm to downstream areas and peoples.<\/p>\n<p>The team of ministers who visited the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa for negotiations said they had also agreed on the establishment of a technical committee to study the impact of an Ethiopian dam project on Kenya.<\/p>\n<p>Environment minister John Michuki said both governments had agreed to deploy choppers on the river to inspect and establish the source of a rescission of the waters in the lake once Ethiopia establishes a dam on the Kenyan side as planned.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<fieldset>\n<legend align=\"center\"><strong>More News on
