a rapid pace thanks to state build industrial parks that now also attract foreign investors and multinationals. welcome to do business africa i want to get good to have you with us so china looks ready to negotiate a trade deal with the 6 nation east africa community a report by reuters news agency says the deal is said to address kenya's complaints about a huge trade imbalance in favor of the asian economic giant china has become one of the biggest trading partners for many east african countries the african countries exports to the world's 2nd biggest economy to wall street by imports of its manufactured goods like electronics and plant equipment. well let's talk a little bit about that and bringing in joy the reindeer are joins us now in nairobi joy please explain what exactly is the issue that kenya is worried

about and is it the only nation in east africa worried about. well kenya 1st of all is the biggest economy across the east african 6 states that is in uganda tanzania run as well as really and south sudan but the biggest worry for kenya right now is agreeing to these trade terms with china means that kenya is actually going to say when it comes to the manufacturing sector can you has said that it's money factory and sector is pretty any sense and so agreeing to the terms that china has been negotiating since 316 means that they're going to be more chinese products coming into the east african country and that's leading to water down the local manufacturing sector all right joy thank you for that don't go anywhere because i have another issue that i would like to discuss with you because the news of

a possible or possible trade talks with china comes as kenya's leader who will kenyatta and biogs on an attempt to crack down on financial crime this month he announced plans to withdraw an old version of kenya's $1000.00 shilling bank notes because of widespread counterfeiting toba the 1st the note you see here will no longer be legal tender the old notes will be replaced by a new version with security features designed to prevent the creation of fakes criminals and corrupt officials are thought to be in possession of hundreds of millions of shillings in a quiet cash and that is something of course we would like to elaborate on a little bit more with joy to read in biro who is still there in the in nairobi for us so counterfeiting apparently and quite obviously a problem any other problems. well we could see problems but also since kenya 2 can't the new constitution it has been

a requirement for kenya to actually change the face of the carriage and it actually has taken long because there have been quite a number of legal cases with some of the citizens and how. to change the currency and while somewhere saying you know it's not yet time for us to change the currency or why are we taking too long to change the currency some of the citizens were unhappy with the design of the proposed design for the new currency and now that it is out we are seeing mixed reactions on where it is has actually been a gradual process because it started really seeing the quite instead is the metal quine's and now it has graduated into the notes and the 1000 shilling kenyan or what happens to be the biggest dinner in asian of the currencies that come in different denominations of 50220100 shillings and 50 can insurance

it can you tell me what exactly is wrong with the design it looks pretty enough to me. well this is a time that has actually it's just different views from different people and some have said you know the new currency can't easily be counted because we have seen that they want thousands surely not across the region has been used for different crimes and in fact there was saying that it was used an illegal financial flows where we were seeing more people using the kenyan currency not just in kenya but even across the region to change money and use it for various reasons including crime and so now with the new design there are some people who have already moved to court and said you know this currency still does not fit the bill for what it can encourage as it should look like and according to the constitution they said that the currency should not bear the image of any individual as some have actually

gone to court because the currency still holds the image of the founder who happens to be the president of the republic of kenya but then of course the new currency looking at it julie had to look at it it almost looks like the rose in color yeah and. yes and also the advantage is that now people who are visually impaired can also be able to tell the difference between the smaller denominations and the biggest enemy nations which have the $1000.00 should not ok joy during bear of their reporting for us from nairobi thank you so much for this. well staying with currency issues workers in zimbabwe are taking on the central bank as the country continues to struggle to establish a reliable currency the zimbabwe congress of trade unions is preparing a case against the reserve bank obs above where saying it illegally converted to
