Kenya's presidential limo can withstand grenade attacks

The car that was acquired in 2002 was reinforced in such a way it could resist fire from high-calibre weapons

When the former president Mwai Kibaki took over the presidency in 2003, he was assigned a bulletproof Mercedes Benz S600L worth about Sh30 million.

Kibaki became the first president known in the public to have an armoured car that had ballistic protection standards level seven (B7) which is the highest protection recommendable for presidential vehicles.
