The United Kingdom has completed reviewing trade agreements with Kenya and is now waiting for Kenya to ratify and agree on a date of enforcement.

“The UK process for scrutinising trade agreements was completed after a debate which took place in the House of Lords on March 2. The UK looks forward to agreeing the date of entry into force once Kenya has completed its domestic processes for ratification,” said a spokesperson for the British High Commission.
