“By bringing production facilities to Kenya, we will lower our costs and it will enable us to be a lot more competitive,” Bannon said.
Toyota has invested US$2m for an outlet in the Nairobi suburb of Westlands and plans to invest another US$2m to open another one in the Gigiri area in 2012, to improve customer service.
