The barriers to starting a successful cottage industry/ micro-industry that is scalable hii Kenya legally ni insane kuliko kupenya sound barrier in the 1930s. Tarriffs, taxes, kanjo and political busybodies hapo hapo wakidai their cut kazi inakua ujinga. There’s a thriving very grey industry in Kariobangi et al, anyone amekula maisha Kenya anajua there’s no going legit until you are big enough to bend the laws of the game legally. Then again why bother if you are making enough of your financial targets? Huku hard earned wealth and means of production doesn’t have guarantees of being protected from all manner of risks man made or otherwise. Generate thy dollar and keep your mouth shut. Tags za multinational for majority of entrepreneurs huku really is just a bullseye painted on your back. eg recent troubles at Keroche [SIZE=1]ata kama wao si multinashono[/SIZE]
We have the will to start something but the kinda shafting you get from the government is enough to discourage any investor.
Numerous licenses and brokers who demand bribes. Ni mara ngapi tumeskia foreign investors that were discouraged by some assholes who ask for bribes?
I keep saying that when all government requirements get condensed into one document things will get easy. Land pia government should lease to anyone that wants to start something.
If you study the history of all these big multinationals from Japan or USA and Europe they were really small scale business. Some were completely ruined after 1945 but they rose up again.
Ile shida kubwa sana na Mwafrika ni RED TAPE also known as bureaucracy. Ease of doing business is hampered by very many obstacles. Sio taxes, sio permits, sio political rivary, sio conflict of interest. 80% of what Africa imports can be made right here in Africa. Hakuna kitu China ama Japan wako nazo in terms of factors of Production ambayo Africa haina, in fact we have 5 times more. Sema raw maeterials, Land, Human capital, Fresh Water, Coastline, Solar. Everything.
We’re busy creating micro-economies for hawkers, wheelbarrow pushers and mama mbogas.
Hizo multi-nationals sio za ma-hustler.
Tukiwa na njaa tutapatiwa mchele, nyama na soda huko state lodge.

Hustler hoiyeeee!!!
Bottoms up!
Hapa nakusupport 100%. Bush meat can work very well in China who aren’t woke yet and love such exotic shit (they pay thousands in dollars to import bison meat from US ranches). Imagine if we do between 100M to 300M cans yearly? We can fund our projects and tubaki na kidogo yenye itaenda kwa diversification fund (kama Qatar Investment Council etc)
