Let Kenya also benefit from Egypt & middle East expo
Let Kenya also benefit from Egypt & middle East expo
There was a report in the news that in Kisumu locals business people complained of an Egyptians expo which was showcasing and selling items from Egypt,Emirates, Syria,lran,lndia,Pakistan, Lebanon and Turkey. They were worried of the loss of income of their businesses. l also saw that the expo had moved from kisumu to Mombasa. How is Kenya benefiting from these Egypt and middle east expo?Can the authorities support Kenyans to take their goods and do expo in Egypt,lran,Emirates,Syria,Pakistan, Lebanon and Turkey the way these countries sell their goods in Kenya? Do we have a balance of trade or is it skewed in favour of these foreign countries? Kenya needs foreign exchange and it is good if Kenya can export and sell goods like tea,coffee,Kisii soap stones,wood carvings, Maasai necklaces, tourism etc Let the foreign ministry facilitate Kenyans to go to do business in these countries which bring their goods here in the country so that Kenya as a country can benefit. This can also create jobs and bring in the much needed foreign exchange.
