IN SUMMARY

• The presidential directive means that the government will guarantee companies assembling cars locally minimum volumes and allocate them a significant portion of the new car market revenues.
• The government accounts for a quarter of all new vehicle purchases annually.
• Japan’s Toyota, America’s General Motors and French automaker Peugeot S.A. are currently seeking similar incentives offered to Volkswagen as they plan to start assembling their cars locally.

President Uhuru Kenyatta Wednesday directed ministries and government departments to buy locally assembled cars as part of a plan to expand the new vehicles market and attract more global automakers to invest in Kenya.
