The British government has reaffirmed its commitment to the implementation of the recently signed UK-Kenya trade deal.
British High Commissioner to Kenya Jane Marriot said the UK government is keen to facilitate trade between the two countries.
The trade agreement was signed in December in London by UK Trade Minister Ranil Jayawardena and Ms Maina to ease business without protocols of the European Union.
