Lets analyze the Nyayo Pioneer Project. What went wrong? was it flawed by design? was it doomed to failure? What would have happened if in spite of all that we had persisted and continued with its development. Where would we be on that front at present date?
*Politics! At the time the only educated politicians were lawyers. Lawyers & industrialization don't mix well. The rest were...well... politicians. And they had other "more important agendas" like * *multi-party-ism.* * * *There was also a decline in funding from the west due to the end of the cold war.* * * *And a host of other management related factors that Kill the Moral of those behind the project.* * * *I think the project would have taken off if it were conceived in the 70's.* * * *If it had succeeded :-* - *More Jobs* - *More local experts and engs* - *Growth in local automotive and supporting industries* - *More affordable cars* - *Healthier national pride and moral* - *Longer traffic jams* * * * * *Right now the conditions are different tho!* *It would be nice to see another try*
