This is so that some people do not fight us, especially when we oversight other counties like Taita or Trans Nzoia because we are the Senators of the Republic of Kenya. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1) to seek a statement from the Standing Committee on Trade, Industrialization and Tourism on a matter of national concern regarding the impact of the 10 per cent tariff imposed on Kenyan exports by the USA led by His Excellency Donald Trump. In the statement, the committee should address the following- (1) The projected impact of the newly imposed tariffs by the USA government on tea, coffee, horticulture, textile and other sectors that are largely contributing to Kenya's exports to the USA as well as the overall impact on the national economy of the Republic of Kenya. (2) The measures in place to cushion farmers and traders in the affected sectors, including whether the Government has sought and found alternative markets for the affected Kenyan products and produce by our farmers and trade men and women. (3) The efforts by the Government of Kenya to negotiate a review or even scrapping of the 10 per cent tariff on the Kenyan products and produce by the USA Government under the Donald Trump administration. (4) The progress made in negotiating a free trade agreement between Kenya and the USA in view of the expiry of the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) programme in September, 2025. I know Sen. Onyonka was Assistant Minister then."

A recent report from United States Trade Representative (USTR) has raised serious concerns regarding Kenya's land administration system. The report specifically highlights the proliferation of fake title deeds as a significant barrier to investment, shining a harsh spotlight on the integrity and reliability of our land registration processes. According to USTR, these fraudulent land ownership documents have emerged as a major obstacle in Kenya's ongoing efforts to attract international investors."

(3) The number of counties fully on board on the DLRS platform and the key operational, technical, legal and financial challenges affecting the nationwide rollout in the country. (4) Information on the data security protocols, audit trails, system integrity checks instituted to ensure accuracy, transparency and accountability within the DLRS; outlining The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
