This also lowers significant confidence levels in the management of money to be spent on the project. Many of the risks involved are beyond the management of the project itself as they are due to prior state plans and visits that will be made to the country, Notable being the visit by the US president, Barrack Obama. It is, however, expected that the project will experience slight delays than it ideally should. 3.Project Overview Our manufacturing plants in Kenya do not satisfy the growing demand for our goods in this fast growing economy experienced in the country and the East African region.
