    "content": "smuggling. The material could also not have provided opportunity for Kenya and the public to get taxes because there is tax evasion. So, as I support the Motion for the ratification of the Protocol, I do it on the premise that it is, indeed, an opportunity that will ensure that we are able to block and reduce access to those who are vulnerable. With the illicit tobacco trade, there will be greater accessibility. The tobacco will be cheap to be accessed by children, expectant and lactating mothers. We know the impact that tobacco would have even to those who are experiencing challenges. So, as I support, I want to particularly commend the fact that when we look at the Report, we can see that there was, indeed, extremely good participation and consultation with key groups such as the civil society, academia and other key stakeholders including the Kenya Network of Cancer Organisations. The information that we put here confirms that it would be important to ensure that we do not allow loopholes for the illicit trade on tobacco. With this, I support the Motion for ratification."
