mbona unasema hivo?

Is that where the phrase "chuma ya Doshi" came from?

mbona unasema hivo?

The high taxes levied on steel imports to discourage imports are decided by a small group of factory owners. All the government officials do is to rubber-stamp whatever decisions the factory owners make, of course, after receiving inducements. Importing any steel that does not match KEBS 'standards' attracts more trouble than cocaine, despite the fact that local steel observes no standards.

Where have you been living?

Importing any steel that does not match KEBS 'standards'

Why should anyone import below standard chuma? (Unfortunately that KEBS standard that you don't seem to value is the only one we have that ensures consumers are not fleeced).

I did not say below standard. I said anything that does not match their standards, something different in any way, even when it is better. And those KEBS standards do not reflect on the ground. What Kenyans buy would not be acceptable in places such as South Africa, even as rejects.

I thought we should discourage imports of what we can manufacture here? to create jobs?

 

[Tommy Kwesule]

Where have you been living?

Same Kenya as you.

Local products should also be competitive

Hawa jamaa hata ni venye wame-improve.

Reinforcement steel wasn't to required dimension, electric cables; metsec, was very very poor, their pipes were also not to the required thickness; kwanza the higher class of pipes were the worst. Nowadays it's better kwanza their pipes & Irrigation kits are very good and low cost

Mimi hushangaa sana na some of these critics of gavament. If they are not complaining that gavament is not creating jobs for the youth - as if that is the role of gavament - they are complaining that local industries are being protected. Sijui kama ni akili ya bonobo that can't see cause-and-effect ama nini........................
