Yet some African countries are bucking the trend. Ethiopia’s manufacturing has grown by an average of over 10% a year in 2006-14, albeit from a very low base, partly because it has courted foreign investors. “We approached Holland’s horticultural firms, China’s textile and leather firms and Turkey’s garment firms. Now we’re bringing in German and Swiss pharmaceuticals,” says Arkebe Oqubay, a minister who promotes Ethiopia’s industrialisation.

Ha-Joon Chang, a co-author of UNECA’s report, argues that Ethiopia’s relative success has come from its focused policy. Poor countries often find it hard to decide whether to spread their new infrastructure widely or to focus on the most promising areas. Rather than electrify the whole country, Ethiopia has concentrated on providing power and transport links to its industrial parks. It also seems wise to bring in firms with links to industries that already exist there. “Domestic firms learn from being in the same value chain as the foreign firm,” says Mr Page. Firms buying from local suppliers tend to raise local quality by sending managers and technicians to them. This helps them to produce more sophisticated goods.

Glad to see masukuma with his twisted, warped logic gracing this thread.

Go on tell us again how an immoral and corrupt action is OK so long as it is legal.

I always wonder what your metric is to define acts noted in blue if not what is defined in the law? ama we dream up these things or they come to us in revelation or we get lectured on what is wrong or right by le professeur alba?
anyway I digress... continue lecturing us on what we need to do to move to the next level.


Start using google. The internet is your friend. It will help alleviate your ignorance.

A basic google search will give you the definition of immoral: not conforming to accepted standards of morality, wrongful, bad, unethical.

As such :
1. Waiguru buying bic pens for Ksh 8000 may be legal but it is wrong and unethical.
2. A political bigwig grabbing primary school land may be legal but it is wrong and unethical.
3. Cutting a back door deal to get paid Ksh 35 million of tax payer money is immoral and corrupt

They do not conform to accepted standards therefore they are unethical. The accepted standard is to pay a person what they are capable of earning in the open market.

They are corrupt because they did not follow standard procedures. There was no oversight. Sarah Serem said in May that she is not aware of the Ksh 35m. This means the treasury bypassed the oversight committee. Heck even Nyachae said he was unaware. And he also said that such deals are hidden from the public. Bypassing the oversight committee and hiding from the taxpaying public is classic corruption.

The fact that I have to explain why this is immoral and corrupt is quite frankly shocking.

There might be nothing significantly important when a comparison is done with Kenya. Kenya might even be performing better with the 840K jobs said to be created in 2018.
