"I think AGOA is working pretty well, even in its current form. For example, last year, Kenya exported $544 million — close to 70 to 80 billion [Kenyan shillings] worth of goods to the United States — quota free, duty free. I think last year, we added 12,000 jobs under this program. ... We're making huge progress in making sure that Kenyan products can have access to American markets the same way we have negotiated the Economic Partnership Agreement with the European Union to facilitate trade and access to market for goods from Kenya."
