    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I agree that my Ministry has not given this House sufficient information but I want to report to this House that in the last two weeks, we had a seminar in Mombasa involving hon. Members from the Departmental Committee on Agriculture, Lands and Natural Resources and the Departmental Committee on Finance Planning and Trade to bring them up to speed on the EPA negotiations, WTO and all those kinds of issues. Unfortunately, we appreciate and regret that the hon. Member could not attend that session and he had sent his apologies. My Ministry is taking every step to inform hon. Members at every stage of negotiations because trade is a vital component in terms of attaining Vision 2030. I agree that we have not done well as a Ministry. Again, I said here that when we took over in the Grand Coalition, there were few adjustments including splitting Ministries so that our mandates were fairly affected. We have taken up a programme to be regularly bringing up to speed hon. Members to inform them, particularly, on bilateral agreements and ratification of treaties which compromise trade if other countries have ratified such agreements Kenya has not."
