President Kenyatta slammed out to the
opposition leader over the remarks he made on the trade agreement that he
signed between Kenya and Uganda .
The deal between President Kenyatta and his counterpart

Eastern African Pan African congress, Kenyatta said that the agreement will
enable Kenya to benefit 700million dollars in the trade exchange between the
two countries.

correct me where am going wrong rather than criticizing all that I initiate for
the betterment of the country”
In response opposition leader said
that ,”allowing such an agreement will lead to the collapse of the local sugar
manufacturing industries in Kenya.”
We to recognize the challenges that
we have and look for ways on how to overcome them as Africans.

well the constitution that they fought for back in the years and transform it
for the future generation.

“ Africa we are living in to date is more democratic than the past “ said the
President.
