What government ministries/agencies in Kenya have a role in ratification of the protocol? #RatifyITPKE @RachelDevotsu

[Rachel Devotsu Kiton @RachelDevotsu]

@IILAinfo Parties to the Protocol can also benefit from technical assistance to improve their systems. #ratifyitpke

[Rachel Devotsu Kiton @RachelDevotsu]

@IILAinfo To benefit from the global mechanism where countries can share information Kenya needs to be a party to the Protocol. #ratifyitpke

[Rachel Devotsu Kiton @RachelDevotsu]

The Protocol provides for how countries can cooperate in sharing sensitive information and apprehending suspects. #ratifyitpke https://t.co/dtNgnQCK40

[Rachel Devotsu Kiton @RachelDevotsu]

Illicit trade is a crossborder crime so law enforcement agencies in multiple countries could be involved. #ratifyitpke https://t.co/0Yfy21uYJS

If countries can act locally why do you need an international protocol? #RatifyITPKE @RachelDevotsu @TobaccoFreeKids @AfricaNoTobacco

[Rachel Devotsu Kiton @RachelDevotsu]

However, other countries like Brazil and the EU also like Kenya have national systems of dealing with illicit trade. #ratifyitpke https://t.co/yNM0U5CAfh

It requires 40 countries to sign it for it to be binding. #ratifyitpke https://t.co/ftMun7mnci
