Somalia has sued Kenya at the International Court of Justice seeking fresh delimitation of the two countries’ maritime boundary. However, Kenya told the judges at The Hague they had a valid memorandum of understanding with Somalia on negotiating the boundary dispute and objected to the court hearing the matter. So Somalia cannot claim the agreement was drafted entirely by Kenya,” Khan said. In his submissions, Muigai recounted how Kenya has struggled to help Somalia stabilise and accused Mogadishu of acting in bad faith. Kenya has hired renowned international lawyers for the case, among then Khan, Prof Payam Akhvan (Canadian), Prof Vaughan Lowe (British), Prof Alan Boyle (British), Prof Mathias Forteau (French) and Amy Sanders (British).
