    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to appreciate the Minister. This is a fairly technical Ministry and I want to thank him for the way he has grasped the issues there. But the concern that we have as Kenyans is that there are many tariff negotiations, particularly in agriculture. What is the capacity of this Government to negotiate? I know for a fact that when we go for the negotiations, and I am a fairly technical man in that area--- Let me not boast here. A country like the USA would send 40 negotiators to negotiate one tariff agreement. But you will find that Kenyan sends very few people, if at all. In fact, we have very few people posted to our embassy in Geneva for the purpose of the World Trade Organization (WTO). I want to ask the Minister whether we have the capacity and whether he has actually put it in the Budget to deliberately develop capacity. Do we have enough people being given scholarship to train in international trade and development? Do we have this facility? Has he thought about this because we do not want our country to continue being disadvantaged? So, where are we in terms of development of capacity?"
