Absolutely,tobacco industry engagement should be open to scrutiny, especially when proposals are discussed in economic spaces where their public health implications may receive less attention. #ProtectHealthInTrade #TIMRKenya

Understanding where tobacco industry interests intersect with these processes is essential to identifying risks and safeguarding Kenya’s tobacco control gains. #ProtectHealthInTrade #TIMRKenya

TRADE MUST NOT COME AT THE COST OF PUBLIC HEALTH. Regional and continental trade agreements should support Kenya’s ability to implement health measures and protect people. Public health must remain a priority in every policy space. #ProtectHealthInTrade #TIMRKenya

The question is not whether Kenya should engage in regional trade. It is how to do so while protecting public health. Trade processes must not create loopholes that weaken #tobaccocontrol measures. Keep health in the conversation. #ProtectHealthInTrade #TIMRKenya

PUT PUBLIC HEALTH AT THE TRADE POLICY TABLE. A permanent, consultative role for the MoH in the National AfCFTA Implementation Committee would help ensure trade decisions are assessed alongside their potential public health implications. #ProtectHealthInTrade #TIMRKenya

Transparency is not optional when public health is at stake. #ProtectHealthInTrade #TIMRKenya

Regional integration decisions can have far-reaching consequences for tobacco control. The region must strengthen transparency to ensure that tobacco industry interests do not undermine public health through the AfCFTA and EAC frameworks. #ProtectHealthInTrade #TIMRKenya
