Like in scale - like a company start and makes these rickshaws

Importing is easier for lazy minds. Some people make good quick money with imports. Who will gain financially from local production?

These ricksaws are sold locally for upto 400K;
Therefore if a company can make them locally for 200K;
They can get 200k
I think it's more a mentality thing - mental block

Cost of power and KeBs nonsense tops the list.

Cost of steel?

Mwafrika build better stuff than these. Innoso Motors is now unassailable. They make everything from two cylinder to buses, trucks, cranes, and military grade vehicles manufactured fully from African products and technology. Ghana's Katanka is struggling but also doing well. I think Innoson now makes and sells over 30K cars per year! Sooner or later, Innoson may need to make cars that not last for a long time to keep profits and parts supply going on in the loop like the rest of manuducturers. I hear Innoson car can go for over 10 years on pumby roads without major flaws repairs!

Precisely.

These tuktuk are made up of metal...steel aluminium copper...the Chinese gov gives these companies cheap credit,low power costs,low taxes unlike Kenya gov which makes no sense to only assemble them here.

Very impressive, but their website is very lousy. I would not entrust my road safety to a company unable to make a reliable website.

Do not forget KRA comes on top. Then county taxes, numerous licenses for road safety from NTSA etc.
