Nyayo Car

[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.

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.
