Manufacturing locally would absorb quite a number of semi skilled
individuals into the workforce. Always a good thing.

Outsourcing is not always a good idea. Check what happened to Dell & ASUS.
Even the all mighty Apple Inc & Samsung.

Let's make them. Lets sell them. Lets figure out supply chain for the
greater East African region. Then we can tinker with other electronics.

We have the capacity. Why not do it?

I dream when we will have outsourced manufacturing jobs overseas, and have
big companies like Apple, HP, here in Kenya, then earn foreign exchange on
the distribution and sells all over the world. But it sounds like a pipe
dream.

US is not suffering from outsourcing since the companies earn abnormal
profits from that. Only the poor jobless hands-man is the one who suffers.

But here in Kenya, we have non. No manufacturing companies outsourcing to
Asia, and no outsourced jobs coming back home.
