products zao zafaa zitolewe kwa market. wakenya waingie kwa io biashara

Do we have the capacity m

toothpaste yetu hutoka Egypt. Kiwi, na vaseline ni za foreign companies. Vitu zote zenye tunatumia daily tumeshindwa kutengeza.

GSK: I used to manage this account once while employed by muhindi. I really hated them coz getting into their factory at Juction of lunga lunga and Likoni roads, was the hardest thing. And if you were allowed to enter, the employees treated you like a plague infested POS. And that was long before Covid.
Didn’t get the same treatment in other pharmaceutical companies like Betahealth, Regal, Dawa and Elys.
Anyway it’s sad they are closing.

Kuna Morio wangu alikua huko. Quality Control.

Enyewe life haina Map. Leo unaroll na Subaru Mpya, then kabla loan umalize kulipa, Job inaisha.

mhindi alikuwa analipa ngapi

Hii ndo shida ya kukuwa employed. Niko sure sahizi wale waliandikwa huku wanakula stress design flani noma. Wale walikuwa walevi sahizi wana regret …Wale wamejoin kampuni juzi wanasema Mungu awapendi

This is a consequence of expensive power, and expensive fuel instigating inflation on all imported products and services. Add to the silly uncontrolled borrowing of which we can’t service and a huge import export deficit to our detriment. Our shilling is worth crap.

When we said we don’t need the expressway we were on point. Infact WSR should declare all contracts by the former admin for interrogation. It’s a crime against our kids and their future.

Finally, it’s not just glaxosmithkline that’s left, several are in toe. Cost of doing business in Kenya is bonkers.

Nilisema employment ni slavery

What has changed ? We will continue importing, as long as we don’t have any Kenyan made products, competing with what GlaxoSmithKline was making .

And has been for the last 8-10 years. The number of firms (manufacturing/processing) that closed shop only to open next door (UG, ETH, TZ) ni nyingi sana

Unilever Kenya imports almost all of their products we use in Kenya from SA and Egypt vitu kama royco and sunlight ndio wanatengeza Kenya already waliuza BlueBand. Uganda and Ethiopia were depending on Unilever Kenya for now they have their plants producing Omo and Sunlight not sure about Congo, Burundi and Rwanda maybe they depend on Uganda plants. Jambazi sugu kutoka Ichaweri messed up Kenya from stupid kickbacks to set up shop in Kenya to high cost of production. In Rwanda hata kama ni kijiji they have conducive environment for industries like free connection to electricity.

Kuna kunguru ulirushia mtama huko akakuonyesa kivumbi

JSKS should be the first one to be correcting the messes they made together but he’s still busy taking photos.
It doesn’t make sense that we still have expensive power.

I’d rather we transfer the so-called Hustler Fund to industries who we can be assured of paying instead of hustlers.

If you can comfortably make more than 3000 USD net monthly bila kuandikwa kazi huku Kenya then you’re justified to make such statements. Otherwise you have every right to be a damn slave & work like a horse because there’s no option. Bora chakula uweke kwa meza

The company only had a demerger. Haleon, is still very active and running in Kenya.

That is life. Ata wale walikuwa wanaroll Okonkwo style kabla covid hawakujua livelihood itaenda when they lost their jobs. I feel for them kusema ukweli. I once wished I could be employed huko GSK given its a reputable multinational. Sai ningekuwa nalia machos debe mzima

Uchumi mbaya bana

Good quantity of tyres and car batteries are still being produced in Kenya because they pollute big time. Sema kuonewa.
