    "content": "This is about trade and investment. Looking at the Agreement, for those who have had time to ventilate or to look at it, it goes straight into the Big Four Agenda that this country has been grappling with and it also feeds into Vision 2030, which we have embraced as a nation. When you have trade between countries that is the only way money is made. When money is made, there comes with it several opportunities like jobs, our shilling that is heavily hit at the moment will stabilise against other foreign currencies and many other benefits that time may not allow me to underscore. Kenya, unlike our neighbours within the EAC, is considered a developing country. Our neighbours, with due respect to them, are still considered least developed nations. Therefore, the treatment that Kenya gets while in this particular trade is different from our neighbours. Our neighbours enjoy certain preferential treatments because they are least developed. Our neighbours at the same time enjoy free market access to EU in general just because of that position that they are in. However, Kenya being considered a developing nation, must move forward to ratify these agreements, so that we can trade quota-free and duty-free with the UK."
