Kenya, on Monday, asked for the support of the East African Community (EAC) as it moves closer to sealing an Economic Partnership Agreement(EPA) with the European Union (EU) that will grant its exports duty-free status and unlimited access to the 27-member market bloc.
The deal signed in Nairobi was approved by the European Union Council last week and will now be presented to the parliaments of both sides for ratification before it subsequently enters into force.
