    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to seek three clarifications. First, the Minister talked about the development component of the agreement. The purpose of the development component in the agreement is to help specific sectors to achieve competitiveness so that reciprocity does not harm our market. Could he give us an assurance on the amount of money they have committed, which particular sectors are targeted and the time lines? Secondly, there is the issue of Kenyan producers. Presently, Kenya exports much more to non-European markets compared to European markets. What assurance is he giving us that, by coming here and flooding our market, our competitiveness in the non-European markets will not be undermined? Finally, could the Minister assure this House that before he puts his signature on that agreement, that the agreement will be brought to Parliament, discussed fully and ratified before it is actually made official? I say this because it is important that we do so. This agrement could completely destroy our economy, unless we are very careful."
