    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1) to seek a statement from the Standing Committee on Trade, Industrialization and Tourism regarding the United States to Kenya Strategic Trade and Investment Partnership (STIP). In the statement, the committee should- (1) State the direct benefits of the United States to Kenya STIP Agreement. (2) Explain the contents of the US to Kenya STIP with respect to tariffs on agricultural products and particularly poultry importation in Kenya from the USA and to what extent it will affect poultry farmers in Kenya. (3) Explain the trade and investment opportunities that the ministry has provided to poultry farmers to enable them to meet the market demand in Kenya and abroad. (4). State how county governments have been involved in implementation of STIP due to the fact that most of these partnerships touch on devolved functions such as agriculture. (5) State how the Government will ensure that the STIP agreement does not undermine trade agreements signed under regional bodies for which Kenya is a member such as the African Continental Free Trade Area Customs Union (AfCFTA) and the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) Agreement amongst others. I thank you."
