Principal Secretary Eng. John Tanui and Trade Cabinet Secretary Hon. Lee Kinyanjui were there with officials from investment and immigration departments, plus the Korean Ambassador H.E. Kang Hyung-Shik and K-Elec CEO Nam Kyo Yung. The K-Elec plant uses Korean tech to put together fridges and TVs, and they're looking at beauty products next. Kinyanjui said Kenya wants more foreign money coming in to build stuff and hire people. Tanui pointed out that Kenya already cranks out over 8 million phones per year, so adding this factory makes the country look better as a manufacturing spot in East Africa. The whole thing is supposed to help Kenya do more local assembly work and get people to buy Kenyan-made products instead of imports. [/QUOTE]
