You do remember Marshalls assembled Peugeot locally for many years? There was a ban on full-built imports those days. It protected the 3 assemblers - GMEA, KVM [then known as LEYLAND] & AVA in mombasa. When the market was opened, only GMEA is making money, thanks to their focus on commercial vehicles. Wrong! The ban was explicitly on mitumba imports.

When forex was being assigned like prescription medicine - when you could not change more than Sh5k-worth without approval of CBK governor!

Never understood why people quote numbers without thinking through. New car sales in Kenya never go beyond 10,000 units, so where does GMEA take the 70,000 units? If they were to assemble and sell all the units @ say minimum Sh 3M, it would make their annual turnover approx.Sh 210B, does that plant on Mombasa road look to you like a Sh 210B operation? Finally 20 cars per day translates to 7,300 cars a year assuming operations for 365 days a year. "The purpose of bureaucracy is to compensate for incompetence and lack of discipline." James Collins
