Kenya to lower age limits for imported vehicles from current 8 years

[NairobiWalker]

Rudia mwenyewe usome ulicho andika kama sio 20yrs. Hiyo link inayoonyesha hakuna rule Tanzania inaruhusu 20yrs car kuingia Tanzania. So as usual, you lied. Kenya import magari mengi kuliko Tanzania, and your point here is..??? Kama mgejali import bill inayozidi export bill, msingesema haya maneno.

So how does that make me not an owner of a car? lol. I import my cars from Kenya, not Tz idiot. Yes, we import more vehicles than Tanzania because we have a bigger economy. Import and export bills (It's called Balance of Trade fool. Please read a book) don't determine how strong an economy is. Some contries are export oriented others are import oriented. Countries that rely on tourism and services for instance are mostly import oriented while others that are into manufacturing like Japan or are having their minerals exploited by richer economies like Tanzania may export more than they import. Until Tanzania starts making their own cars never brag about importing less cars. You sound like a fool.

Kenya is not an import oriented country, usijidanganye, your importing more than you export because of bad policies brought to you na walafi. Nchi zinazo import more than export sio masikini kama Kenya. Walafi wanaowatala hawajali watu wengine zaidi ya wao wenyewe na mifuko yao. Huyo CS anajuwa hiyo ni bad policy na itaumiza watu wengi. Watu wachache watafaidika lakini wengi waendelea kutembea kwa miguu kwenda makazini na kurudi nyumbani. The worse thing you can do to a man is to push him into unaffordable debts, ni sawa na kumuwekea kamba shingoni.

In the old days Kenya used to Assemble 22, 000 new vehicles every year! Inflation now is at 8%, back then it was still similar. What changed is the shilling exchange rate, back then it was $1 = 52 ksh.....
Its a catch 22 we have, apart from power cost, vehicle manufactureres dont want to set up manufacturing plants bcause of cheap quality 2nd hands flooding the market , on the other hand on the other hand car owners find 2nd hand cars afordable And bcoz of it, Kenya remains the same interms of manufacturing. ... if we can manage to attrack car manufacturing plants by banning/reducing importatio of 2nd hand then that will be really good.... if it doesnt play out, we can revert back to 8 years,

So bring back the old Days .

Tinkering with the economy like a drunkard tinkers with his keys trying to see which one will open the door after his daily drunken stupor. Last year the same drunkard ignored the advice of Economists and Implimented Rate Caps. After fvcking up the financial sector he is now repealing the act.. Why do we have to be this Juakali with economic policy?

The argument was not on whether rate cap or not but whether it should be done through parliament rather than through the Central Bank

The government will formulate a policy to further limit the importation of second hand vehicles in order to allow domestic assemblers to compete more effectively in an effort to support local industry. Speaking at the official opening of spare parts manufacturing plant by Autosprings East Africa, the Cabinet Secretary of Industry, Trade and Cooperatives Adan Mohamed says they will engage motor vehicle stakeholders as they seek to impose age limits on second-hand vehicle imports.



Good move this will create more jobs as more vehicle manufacturers will set camp in Kenya and the product quality will also improve.

Magu hawezi wachia mawaziri wafungue vitu kama hizi.

Kwa akili zako mbili unafikiri this policy itakunyayua kimaisha, think again.

Ndio maana gap ya uchumi wetu na wenu inaendelea kukua. Hata hamuelewi policy nzuri na mbaya ni gani.

Matatu business will be heavily affected, fare prices for passagers will go up pushing inflation higher. Silly economics

Look at this foolish Geza ulole.....matatus are always new made in Isuzu East Africa

Wazungu wamewabeba mgongoni since 1963, hiyo ndio GDP ya kuonyesha watu duniani. SMH

Uchumi wenu upo mikononi mwa wahindi na Waarabu. Cha kushangaza before 1963 wakati wa mzungu tulikua na uchumi sawa, mzungu kaenda sahii tumewashinda na $32 billion.😀😀

"Nissans" or what we call 14 seaters outnumber buses by 9:1 All nissans are 2nd hand imports and few matatu owners can afford a brand new isuzu 33 seater

Umekosa majibu, wahindi hawakalii ardhi ya Tanzania wala kutoa masoko ya bidhaa za Tanzania, Kenya imewapa wazungu ardhi na wazungu hao hao ndio wana watoa masoko. Nchi zingine ambazo zinafursa kama kenya ni pamoja na South Africa, New Zealand Australia hata Canada. GDP za huko zinajieleza zenyewe.

Haya ni maneno ya mkosaji. Kila mara mkishindwa mnasema Kenya imeshikiliwa na Wazungu. Cha Kushangaza most Tanzanian big companies are owned by white people while in Kenya all big companies are either black owned or over 50% black owned. Work on your situation and stop worrying about Kenya.
