German motor vehicle manufacturer Volkswagen says the delay by the Kenyan government to implement a national automotive policy is holding back its plans to localise its new cars.

Volkswagen Group head for African region Martina Biene says the policy expected to drive sales of new passenger car brands has been ‘stuck’ despite Kenya being the company’s hub country for East Africa.
