EADB support Importers over Local Assemblers

I am disappointed that the Local Assemblers are getting the short end of the stick!

Instead of incentives to Local Assemblers;

• Improved infrastructure - roads, reliable electric supplies
• Export-friendly procedures e.g. prompt VAT & customs refunds
• Increased security
• Zero-tax on local assembled cars
• Training credits for employees
  

the government is supporting thru the EADB, a facility that will flood the local market with imported cars, many which are ill-suited to our roads!

The Local Assembly plants provide jobs to more Kenyans that an importer esp in the ancillary industries e.g. radiator, shocks, etc manufacturers.
