    "content": "protect one another and ensure that we maintain the stability that we require for growing economies, then capital will tend to flow towards this region. This is what we must continually encourage and achieve for Kenya and for our neighbours. In fact, you will see another area which is often overlooked. If you look at other Mutual Defence Pacts between countries such as the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), it is a huge employer within its member-states. For us, the creation of the Eastern Africa Standby Force in a country which is looking to employ and increase employment opportunities for young Kenyans, it will be a step in the right direction. Not everybody can find a position in the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF). We wish to say that this Agreement has the potential to transform the entire region beyond what we have seen in Asia and the Middle East because the confidence that is developed in the East African region coming together will certainly encourage a large influx of capital. We would wish to see on the back of the Global Entrepreneurship Summit, the East African region attract the attention of the world and allow the world global capital markets to direct more and more resources towards this region for our benefit and for our development."
