The East African country, Kenya, is often heralded as the ‘cradle of humanity’. With a population of approximately 35 million, the country has suffered from internal conflict. The growth of its economy has gained momentum after long periods of stagnation. Traditionally, agriculture, horticulture and tea have been key exports of the Kenyan economy. However, accounting for nearly 60% of GDP, Kenya’s services sector now plays an important role. Trade in services is well established in a number of subsectors including tourism, commercial services and transport, with the European Union (EU), the United States and the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) the key players.
