Nyayo Pioneer (1990)

Nyayo Car was a project by the Kenyan government to plan and manufacture Kenyan cars.[1][2] The project was initiated in 1986 when then president Daniel arap Moi asked the University of Nairobi to develop the vehicles.[3][4]

Five prototypes were made, named Pioneer Nyayo Cars and they attained a speed of 120 km/h. The Nyayo Motor Corporation was established to mass-produce these cars. However, due to lack of funds, the car never entered into production.[5][6]

The Nyayo Motor Corporation was later renamed Numerical Machining Complex Limited, manufacturing metal parts for various local industries. The car became a synonym for the many white elephants that signified the government of the day.
