I think this is a revenue raising ploy by the government which has also been hijacked by corrupt government officials and well-connected business people to swindle cash out vehicle owners. There is a lot of corruption going on at the motor vehicle inspection centers. I did not understand why after paying through the nose for the gadgets, I also had pay for new TLB stickers including also advance tax.

You mean paying advance tax twice in a year? Not heard of that.

Yes. This is for a vehicle that I had made payment for in November last year.

@Kimiri. Advance tax is paid for a calendar year and what you paid last year was for last year! What will cost you more is governor and inspection along with attendant costs.

Are Wazuans ready for tomorrow's deadline?


Mimi bado. Problems galore. When I began looking for the gadgets back in Jan, the cheapest in the market was 44k from a certain co. in Westlands. Finally managed to secure some this week for 19k. Programming done yesterday, installation and inspection probably tomorrow.

Lucky you @Rankaz13 and I think it's rare for 13 to be a lucky number! In Meru they are being fitted at 35k and the price is going up.

Are there any models that you can recommend as better than others?


Funny thing, 13 has always been my lucky number. Being the first experience with the gadgets, I honestly dunno of any that I can say is better than others.

I've come across some SACCOs that bought for their members and paid for installation as well, halafu the members get it as a loan kwa malipo ya polepole ya miezi sita.


Good morning Rankaz13. Kindly inform me where you got yours (The company supplying). I want to beat the deadline yet some companies are said to have ran out of stock. Thank you



Pole kwa kuchelewa, busy day. Got the units from Public Transport Investment Co. Ltd (affiliated to M.o.A) via one of our sacco officials. Apparently demand was quite high and I had to wait for almost 3wks after paying before we finally got them.

Wanted to share some pics of the gadget but inserting images here from flicker imekuwa shida.

Talk to a guy called Victor on 0722-823 636 of Papo Hapo Solutions (PHS), the brand name of the governors.

@Jerry The Vanette is that tiny van, Inafanana na mkate ya 10bob. Its petrol version is 1800cc same chassis as Mazda Bongo.

@matatuman, thanks. I thought it was meant for use as a matatu!

Oh yes, it indeed is used as a matatu. Either 11 seats kawaida or 8-seater shuttle.
