Manufacturing will not help Kenya. The only reason people believe the lie is because we have swallowed the Anglo-Saxon hogwash that they have the formula to "development".
Manufacturing will reduce Kenyans to working on slave wages for Western brands. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-bangladesh-manufac/western-brands-demand-big-discounts-from-bangladesh-factories-idUSKBN21Z1KN

First of all, we need to stop believing that US was built on industry. It was built in enslaved labor, a civil war to break the plantation south, and then chain gangs and prison labor.
The so called American industrialists we now admire were part of a group nicknamed robber barons who used stealth, trickery, monopoly and violently breaking up unions to exploit workers
Even today, prison labor in the US is a source of money. People, especially blacks, receive long and unnecessary jail terms to fund the companies that make money on prison labor
The more tragic story is when Kenyans believe British industrialists made money from innovation yet Britain set up the colonies to exploit us. How do we not see the connection between their wealth and our exploitation? That's just amazing.
But even in Britain itself, at the time they were coming here, working class British people were being exploited through work houses.
It is truly the height of hubris and brainwashing for Kenyans to believe that the factories that exploit lower class, black and brown labor will somehow bring prosperity for Kenyan factory workers. Have Kenyans not seen the vibarua who trek to Inda every day and are on contract?
Anyway, Kenyans are very elitist. We demand things that are in the personal interests of the elites, rather than in our own interests. We think we're white, that what worked for white elites exploiting black people will work for us.
But who are the people to be exploited here?
But who are the people to be exploited here?
We avoid the question. We instead look at Carnegie and think that we are him and not the workers he exploited.
We think that hell is the others.
As we fantasize that factories will get us good jobs, Tekayo is setting up prisons for us to work in them for free.
The hallucination of Kenyans is at another level. https://www.theelephant.info/features/2018/11/15/kenyas-new-prison-industrial-complex-fundamental-flaws-in-uhuru-kenyattas-plan-to-make-jails-profitable/
