If I were President, I would do what no other leader has dared to do - break Kenya free from outdated car policies that make us poorer while enriching our neighbours. Every month, 6,500 Kenyans pay up to Sh700,000 more for the same cars Ugandans and Tanzanians buy for less.

Why? Because of an outdated, 25-year-old policy that has never been wisely revised to match modern realities. Today, I am about to share a disruptive idea that can shake the automotive industry, create millions of jobs, and finally put Kenya first.
