Kenya-UK trade deal uncertain as Kenyan parliament blocks ratification The Kenya-UK trade deal, signed between Kenya’s Secretary for Trade Betty Maina and her UK counterpart Ranil Jayawardena on December 8, was welcomed with optimism by the business communities of both countries. However, last week, the Kenyan Parliament refused to ratify it. This came after questions from legislators about the trade deal’s fine print, and raised tumultuous discussions that could derail Britain’s first post-Brexit bilateral trade deal with an African country. Fpcfreshtalkdaily.co.uk quoted Dagoretti MP John Kiarie as saying: “The EPA as presented is copied from the economic partnership agreement that the East African Community (EAC) and the European Union (EU) are negotiating on. So, is it in order for Kenya to ratify this deal without other partner states.”
