Kibaki, First Lady reject offer of eight the top of range cars

President Kibaki and First Lady Lucy Kibaki have directed eight top-the-range vehicles bought for them without their authority be returned to the dealers.

With the stroke of the pen the First Family put Cabinet members who have vowed they would hold onto their high-capacity engines despite last month’s budgetary decision in an awkward position. If they hold onto the fuel-guzzlers they could be seen as defying the President and also going against the grain of public opinion.
