The ALN Academy Talks aim to promote conversations on rule of law in Africa.  Today, we focus on trade and, in particular, on the Kenya-UK Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA), which was ratified in March of this year. We had the honour to interview on this topic Daniel Ngumy, Partner, and Luisa Cetina, Director, at ALN Kenya | Anjarwalla & Khanna, who co-head the firm’s newly launched International Trade Law Practice. In a two-part interview, Daniel and Luisa take us through the key aspects of this agreement.

In Part 2, Luisa Cetina, takes us through the key objectives and implications of the Kenya-UK EPA, the bilateral route, balance and equity for African countries when negotiating with major political powerhouses, the extent of a more favourable treatment, sustainable agricultural development and the EPA’s correlation with other regional trade agreements, such as the AfCFTA.
