Manganese is used to make clear glass, to desulfurize and deoxidize steel in steel production and to reduce the octane rating in gasoline. It also is used as a black-brown pigment in paint and as filler in dry cell batteries. Its alloys help stiffen the aluminum in soft-drink cans, according to Chemicool etc.

sana bana, imagine the jobs that can be created in that 25 years, even that town would have benefited immensely if the raw materials were processed here. We have universities offering chemistry, physics but the graduates end up in stalls as employees for lack of opportunities. Yani a leader decided to sign a 25 year contract yet we are in the information age.
Huku wanatudanganya 1million jobs created in the informal sector because you can't quantify it.

This theory is half cooked , ok let’s not export the raw materials then do what with them if their are no industries to manufacture or use the raw materials ?
We have to price the raw materials to our advantage at least that we can increase revenue from .

We could do what all the other BRIC + Western nations did Before us.

Because the minerals would have to be processed locally, that would mean more factories + weaker regulations and rock bottom wages a robust sprout of new industries and other supporting businesses (contractors, suppliers etc) should theoretically boost the economy.

But most likely, we'll end up like Brazil or Malaysia. Almost Singapore/South Korea if what Matiangi says is true. That 40% of this election candidates are washwash villains.

Then again, we might just be another Lebanon or Sri Lanka.

I'll just continue to pray I'm wrong.

How about giving incentives to that company to set up the processing plant in Kenya? Don't we have paint , Steel ,battery manufacturers in Kenya?who needs it? .
How about encouraging locals to process it themselves. It's a package. All countries started small cottages for them to fully industrialize .
we can't keep exporting opportunities to the west at some point, we have to do it or where will the jobs come from? Or how about we export the refined product?

We just need to stop exporting raw materials and Importing goods which exist a great local alternative.

How can the textile industry grow if we import most of our clothes from china?

But given the government track record at managing parastatals, I don't see those local industries surviving.

These heirs to the home guard know how to kowtow to foreign powers.

Unless China/Western manufacturers actually run them directly.

Local industries will have a hell of a time.

But I have faith we can do it! :D

The greatest challenge in this country is starting a manufacturing business. Too much bureaucracy and costs. It's like the system designed it that way to frustrate new entrants.
