Operations at the state-owned Numerical Machining Complex, on which Kenya had pinned its hopes of becoming an industrialised nation, have almost ground to a halt.

The firm, which manufacturers machine parts and equipment at its plant located at the Kenya Railways headquarters in Nairobi, is facing a slowdown in production, leading to cancellation of orders by key clients.
