Ndambuki, I would like the Minister to clarify to the House about the scope of those negotiations, particularly as regard the East African countries. I know that there have been proposals that the East African countries - that is Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda and Burundi - to negotiate with the European Union as a group. The information that I have is that Kenya is resisting that. I would think that if they negotiate as a group, our bargaining position would be stronger. Could the Minister throw some light about that? What is the position of Kenya as regards that?"}
