    "content": "There will be a tribunal to check on full implementation to avoid any abuse of the clauses. It is important that this House is seized of this information that there is a window of exit. If this does not work for us, we will divorce in the next one year. There is also a clause that says that after every five years, we will be subjected to amendments of this particular Agreement. So, Kenya previously enjoyed the same duty free and that is what we would want carried forward into this new Agreement. Questions have been raised about how our industries will be safeguarded. That is also what my Chairperson alluded to, that the seven and 12 years’ moratorium before absolute liberalisation is preferred. This will help Kenya to kick-start its ailing economy after COVID-19. Every Kenyan will tell you that we have been hard hit by COVID-19. The intervening areas, going forward, would be to have such agreements that allow Kenyan goods to be sold into the UK market."
