President Kufuor said he would make the trip as soon as possible adding that Kenya has always been a flagship of Africa's rising image and nothing should be done to destroy the country.
This was contained in a press release signed by Mr Andrew Awuni, Press Secretary to the President and Presidential Spokesman.
