    "content": "USA. There has been talk that the free trade agreement needs to be renegotiated because it is skewed against the USA. We know AGOA gives Kenyan apparels and products free access or non-tariffs access to the USA. However, the USA is saying they do not want this to continue. They want it changed. They do not want everything that comes from Kenya to the USA to be free. We need a strong Kenyan delegation to negotiate the FTA and AGOA, so that it makes value for us. Otherwise, we will have AGOA and processing, but we will not have a market. There is correlation between the development of this country, especially in export processing and markets abroad. The issues here are how we make it. I like the way you phrased your resolutions. You want to enhance performance, but this performance needs to be specified. What performance? Is it just production, or do we have a market? How are we negotiating our market? Should it just be to the USA or we are looking at the new markets? What about Asia? Probably, Bangladesh manufactures the same things as ours, but they have a bigger population that consumes those products. How do we penetrate that market? India has one of the largest populations. Are they part of AGOA? No, they are not. How do we penetrate India as a market with our apparels? How do we enhance our performance? This House needs to delve into those questions."
