Maridady Motors Urges Government to Review Age Limit on Used Vehicle Imports
By Njeri Irungu
Maridady Motors CEO, Mr. Eric Mwangi, has emphasized the need for the government to reconsider the age limit on the importation of used cars.
Speaking at the CITA RAG conference held at a Nairobi hotel, Mr. Mwangi highlighted the importance of factors such as serviceability, compliance with Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS), and environmental sustainability.
“We want to ensure that the vehicles are serviceable and meet the standards set by the Kenya Bureau of Standards for importing motor vehicles into Kenya. This includes considerations around age limits, as well as a focus on importing clean cars that are environmentally friendly and have low emissions. We need to prioritize vehicles with a good Euro rating in terms of emissions because we want to take care of the earth,” said Mr. Mwangi.
Maridady Motors, a motor vehicle dealership based along Kiambu Road in Nairobi, serves customers across all demographics and social classes.
