Things should get worse.


The age limit on imported cars is under revision. The Government wants to reduce the age limit from 8 years to 5 years. This will essentially make Imported Second hand cars very expensive as the import duty alone will probably average Kshs 1 Million. The thinking here is they want to cut down on the number of cars on the roads, reduce pollution from emissions and KRA to continue raking in handsomely.
This will be probably at the beginning of 2016

they are thinking stupidly,what matters in the condition of a vehicle is not when it was manufactured but how its used after manufacture,you can have a very bad 2010 car and very good 2008 car

It will be a blessing to make it 5 years at least there wont be so many cars on our roads and the genuine dealers i.e. dobies , toyota and others will do better as re-cons will become less attractive as they get more expensive

95 was the target for year end, but has come in May.

Interest rates will rise soon.

Conventional thinkers waste time building shelters when they are unnecessary and then have no shelters when they need them the most. Socionomists do the opposite.

Which would lock out many more middle-class Kenyans from enjoying what the rich already enjoy. Why would you want that?
