The government, through the Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS), has outlined measures for the registration of vehicles bought through police auctions.
KEBS, in a notice dated Tuesday, April 1, noted that Kenyan laws prohibited the registration or importation of vehicles that are more than eight years of age from the first time of registration, with the same law applying to police auctioned vehicles.
However, while making the announcement, KEBS noted that special consideration could be given to vehicles bought through police auctions under specific conditions set out in the law.
According to the Bureau of Statistics, it may recommend to the Trade Cabinet Secretary, Lee Kinyanjui, to allow the registration of police auctioned vehicles that are more than eight years since their first registration.
