MP calls for tough car import laws

Wilberforce Ottichillo

Government has been urged to review laws on importation of motor vehicles. Emuhaya MP Wilbur Ottichilo (pictured) now wants the State to limit the years a motor vehicle can be used on local roads.

The Parliamentary Environment Committee member says stringent regulations will eliminate cartels and graft between local players and clearing entities abroad, who collude to import vehicles that pose threat to the health and safety of Kenyans.
