    "content": "looking at her CV, any misgivings I had about her immediately vanished. So, I sincerely support. As I support, I want to raise three fundamental issues. I will speak to her and the people of Kenya through this Floor. Africa only contributes 3 per cent of the global trade. On Kenya's contribution, your guess is as good as mine so she has a tough task to do. One is to make sure that we reclaim back our lost significance in the East Africa regional trade. Uganda used to be our biggest trading partner but because of geopolitics, we are slowly losing that market. We must reclaim our dominant position in East Africa and the rest of African. That will require a lot of repositioning and investment to ensure that our products and services meet the international standards. The international trade is becoming extremely competitive in terms of logistics and cost of production. It will be a tough call for her to deliver. The splendid CV she has might end up counting for nothing. She may just walk through the Department and leave after nothing has been done. As I conclude, I urge her to re-energise the programme dealing with the value chain now. It is dead. She should pump in more energy to make sure that the economy changes for the better. Thank you. I support"
