It’s time to support Buy Kenya directive

It was disquieting to hear President Uhuru Kenyatta direct government ministries, last week, to buy locally produced goods and services instead of importing them. The uneasiness arises from the realisation that the President issued the same directive in March, last year.

The only logical conclusion to be drawn is that the people running ministries, departments and agencies turned a deaf ear to the presidential directive. Worse, there is nothing to suggest the same individuals will heed the President this time round.
