    "content": "When I was the Minister for Planning and National Development, I used to be in- charge of the ACP-EU matters and I attended a number of these meetings. I would like to make a few observations, which no doubt will be reinforced by my friend, Prof. Sam Ongeri who is here. These meetings are extremely important for the nation but the hon. Members who attend these meetings have an added responsibility to the people of Kenya. One, most subject matters in ACP-EU have to do with economic and trade matters. When I was the Minister for Planning and National Development, one particular issue related to the sugar quotas and as you know, there is a special arrangement, whereby sugar coming from ACP countries has preferential entrance in the EU market at different levels. There are countries like Mauritius and Cote D’Iviore which have better preferential access to the market than Kenya, for example. However, when a country is allocated its quota and it does not deliver it, the tendency is to lose it and actually for its percentage of access to the EU to decline over time."
