Eveready Batteries: Upgrade and make modern Lithium batteries because zinc-carbon technology is almost obsolete
Cussons: They relocated to Egypt and South Asia
Panpaper:
Nzoia, Mumias, Sony: All are operating below capacity
KMC: Nice try but still under performing
Colgate Palmolive: Dead and buried
The list is endless. I wish Kibaki ruled for 24 Years. From 1982 to 2006 Kenya ingekuwa industrial powerhouse
I believe our rural areas are highly understimated. Imagine (mini) factories in each village market supplying the needs of eg a location (location by national demarcation standards); the way they have village bakeries in France. That alone would discourage the meaningless rural-urban migration and make each area valuable with opportunities.
Which factories? you said we cunt make shit
Called boulagery
Someone here said an African is a poor manager, even managing a kiosk is a challenge.
We used to make sh!t in the past.
Graph ya Management has been on the decline since 1963 as blecks took over. But tukapata diktator kama Uncle Maghu Kenya inaweza tishia hata Germany kiviwanda.
We garra start somewhere, otherwise we’ll keep importing toothpicks from china.
This is what they are trying in West Africa. Cunt recall which country. One County One Product.
It should also be implemented all over Africa. One Nation Two Pr0ducts. Tuanze pale Morocco mpaka Sous Africa. Fridges & AC, Bikes and Sewing Machines etc. Africa would be producing 108 vital Products and there is 1 Billion + consumers already domestically.
Those companies relocated due to high power costs. Saa hii power cost has more than doubled since they left so how do you expect kenya’s manufacturing to be competitive?
High interest rate ndio main barrier,how do you ask for collateral,loan insurance , guarantors na interest rate ya 18% per annum and expect business to grow
We always imagine that manufacturing has to be big industries like you have mentioned: Wrong: In most developed countries, there are thousands os very small industrial/factories that make all sorts of things but we only get to hear the Siemens etc. There is no reason why you punda @Ndindu cannot set up a small factory making nails or plastic tanks in your Gikambura homestead instead of pontificating here
Now you are talking
The government only needs to use NIS to sabotage importers,
Cussons: They relocated to Egypt and South Asia
I think these makers of Imperial Leather, Venus, Ushindi bado wako na production Kenya hapo Baba Dogo.
The guys who relocated include;
Colgate Pamolive…makers of Colgate
Reckitt Benckiser…makers of Doom, Dettol, Jik, Harpic
Negro is still in Agranian revolution
