Kitambo while growing up people who owned a car were perceived as RICH, Kenya’s Motor vehicle registration number system only accommodated about 997 cars per series after omitting O, I yet a series would last almost 3 years. back then there were no Dubai cars, you had to buy from a dealership such as Marshals, CMC or DT. Dobie.

Siku hizi owning a car is a bit simplified, with a down payment of 100K-150K uko na funguo za gari and 250K uko na funguo za mini truck size ya Canter ama Isuzu NPR, bora tu ukuwe na history poa na any bank. Owning a car is no longer a preserve of the rich.
Ukiongeza brands za China the likes of FAW and Great Wall kila mtu ataweza kupata kagari next decade as Electric craze takes over Europe.
No lies in this post.
In the late 80s and early 90s, high school teachers and mid level civil servants like DOs, DCs could walk into a Marshalls (East Africa) Limited showroom and walk away with a zero (0) mileage Peugeot 405 or 504 bila stress (with financing).
Does that happen today? NO.
I bet that you do not know a High School teacher driving a showroom car. Even University lecturers cannot buy new cars today. Ni ex-Japan tu.
Had kibaki ruled Kenya for 24 years like the bafoon before him Kenya ingekuea Mbali sana. We would be producing agricultural and construction equipment.
Kibaki was policy driven unlike his predecessor. During the 90s Kenya was heavily sanctioned
Kibaki performed because of the likes of visionaries and hardworkers like Saitoti, Ngilu, Raila, Kiraitu, etc being in his cabinet and working with no political micromanagement from the OTP.
Kibaki himself was a bonobo but with good managerial skills.
