The article source stated it has to do with suppliers. Unlike other world countries food suppliers are not as pentiiful in Kenya and regulations have to followed closely. McDonalds and Burger King will need cattle farmers and strick restricts may inhibit their dependency on local farmers which may find it more costly to raise stock to the food supply chain. Since it took over a year to get the chicken farm in tact that gives an indication careful planning had to followed with safety regulations in force.
That's a WOW!
I wondered if they liked it?
