Moi challenged universities to produce the Nyayo Car. This was done, despite the poor quality of the product. But it demonstrated that our people can do it given the challenge, the chance and resources. Had we proceeded on that path, we could be producing a Kenyan car, however rudimentary. Indeed, we could even be producing substantial ranges of spares even for foreign models (just imagine the engineering knowledge, project management, quality assurance, etc capabilities we would have acquired by now.)</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px;

This is in an environment where a large segment of Kenyans can even sell their mothers for "30 pieces of silver".
