If you were to walk to any parking lot of any ministry, parastatal or government agency in Kenya today, there is fat chance you will spot a Sh40 million vehicle.
But not the Ministry of Interior in the United Arab Emirates after it acquired a Lamborghini Aventador Coupe worth a whooping Sh42,868,984 ($424,845) factory invoice before tax and shipping.
According to Khaleej Times, the Lamborghini is a new addition to its exclusive posh collection after it partnered with a motor company in the country.
Here is the thing though, it is not a big deal in the oil rich country, the Dubai police force for example has a Rolls-Royce Wraith, Mercedes-AMG GT R, McLaren 720S, Audi R8, and Nissan Patrol in its collection.
During their unveiling last year, Maj Gen Al Marri told the The National that they will be patrolling areas frequented by tourists.
“The luxurious patrol cars will be available in the areas which are frequently visited by tourists such as Burj Khalifa, Dubai Mall, JBR, Burj Al Arab and Jumeirah.”
