Eveready,Sameer,Cadburies,Colgate et al , closures and relocation indicate a worrying trend on our manufacturing sector,Our industrialisation policy is really wanting.

meanwhile beverage & liquor giants are fighting the taxman hard.
Soft drinks maker Coca-Cola will close shop and relocate its manufacturing plants to neighbouring countries if the taxman insists on implementing a Sh17.7 billion digital tax system that industrialists have opposed, the company’s officials told Parliament.,
