    "content": "the European market is one of the benefits which this Agreement is coming along with. The flexibility or simplicity of the rules of origin will make Kenya export its products to the European market easily by opening the new markets for exportation of over 1,000 products. I would urge the Department of Trade to consider sensitising Kenyans on the importance of doing trade with the EU. This opportunity may be open to just a few people who are knowledgeable in matters of international trade. It is, therefore, important that Kenyans who are not well versed with international trade be sensitised and be involved in international trade. That way, even farmers will be in a position to access the international markets without necessarily going through middlemen or brokers. Kenya is very well-known in terms of floriculture and agriculture. Therefore securing the opportunity to export products to these countries would really enhance trade and investments. There is also the guarantee of jobs for those people whose products will be exported to EU; it will mean that extra jobs will be created and the general well-being of Kenyans will be improved. Hon. Speaker, I would urge my colleagues to support the adoption of the Report and ensure that ratification of the Agreement is done without much delay. This is a very important Agreement that will take our country to another level. With those few remarks I would like to support and urge my colleagues to support as well. Thank you very much hon. Speaker for this opportunity."
