@The.Black.Templar

mbona hamsemi ni pesa ngapi??? and yet you claim it is cheaper than importing…what gives?

Uliza huyo spear kama itakuwa cheaper than importing Toyota and other cars from Japan, if not will there be government subsidies or rebates? ?

Being owned by asians

@spear

Since its an elections cycle such useless comments always crop up. Whether its owned by the Kenyatta family (which i doubt because it’s run by asians/Indians) or not, this is a private venture without any public funds involvement. Secondly when President Uhuru was finance minister and he effected the change from expensive Mercedes to middle class luxury Passat, that franchise was with CMC motors not KVM. So your argument on the second point is incorrect as well. Lastly you can’t take away credit form someone just because it doesn’t fit into your narrative. CS Mohammed had for a year pushed for this deal including flying to VW hq in Germany and VW S.A to make it happen with KVM directors. The end result is more jobs for Kenyan’s, more taxes for government and the country gains for the trade exports when we export our VW’s regionally.

Being run by Asians doesn’t mean they are the owners. Check your facts. The RAI group which owns the likes of Timsales, comply, and Raiply are owned by the Kenyatta yet RAi is the one in the domain as the proprietor. Mumias sugar is on its death bed yet private company like kabras(west Kenya sugar) is on the raise still owned by the same family. My query is should we create jobs by killing what is being paid by taxpayers? My point is corruption reinvents itself in so many ways. As a president he should declare his business interest but not hoodwink the public with the likes of VW. Also do a further research on who bought panpaper.

Mumias was killed by Kidero looting, their is no government owned car manufacturer in Kenya that i know of that will suffer if we start producing VW here. You are yet to explain how and if the Kenyatta own KVM is a bad thing to anyone except yourself for some reason which doesn’t make sense.

The new VW will cost less than Kshs 2 million each.

I wish they could reduce that price, they can sell more units locally because the demand is there.
