Kenya AutoBazaar Association has written to President Uhuru Kenyatta over the age limit of second-hand vehicles. The policy among other issues limits the age of imported used cars into the country from the current eight years to five years. Kipchumba wants the age limit to stay at eight years without any deductions. Last week, the government reinstated its plans to cap the age limit of imported cars to five years. The government’s decision is guided by the East African Community that recommends slashing of the age limit to five years by 2021, in a raft of measures intended to promote local manufacturing industry in the region.
