@ErickWokabi Also if you look at the Govt Push to Reduce the Minimum Age of used car imports, We may be forced to embrace chinese brands. 3yr Old Japanese Imports are not affordable at all. 2023 Toyota Prius is 3Mikes

[Erick Wokabi @ErickWokabi]

A popular Nairobi Showroom/yard will soon start BRAND NEW CHINESE crossover SUVs alongside used Japanese imports.

A top, popular Nairobi based showroom has already acquired the franchise to be the dealer for one popular Chinese Automaker's line of light passenger vehicles.

According to them; they conducted a market research and with their findings, made a projection that in the next few years, their Japanese used car imports might take a hit from affordable BRAND NEW ( Zero mileage) Chinese light passenger vehicles and so they decided to set the pace by venturing earlier.

A classic example as to why Kenyans might start opting for brand New Chinese Vehicles is a vehicle such as the Haval Jolion Pro. It is a Crossover SUV, equivalent to a Toyota Harrier.

The current BASE retail price for a 2026 model is around Ksh.3.84 Million Kenya Shillings.
The price of a 2020 Toyota Harrier XU80 is around Ksh
4.5 Million.
The Jolion comes with a warranty.

The Cherry Tiggo Pro is another well priced Chinese Crossover SUV that also comes with a warranty.

The success rate of Chinese Light Passenger vehicles in South Africa is an indicator that the same trajectory might reflect in Kenya.

According to recent TransUnion (which is the largest registered credit bureau in SA) and NAAMSA (the primary representative body for South Africa's automotive industry) insights, Chinese automakers have gone from the fringes to structural players in record time:

​In 2024, Chinese brands held a respectable 11.2% of the passenger vehicle market in South Africa but by the end of 2025, that jumped to 16.8%. Today in 2026 they have crossed 19% meaning nearly 1 in every 5 new cars sold in SA is Chinese.

​In 2024, there were only 8 Chinese brands operating in South Africa but by 2025, that number hit 15.

Moving through 2026, another 4 new Chinese brands have entered the SA market, bringing a massive influx of Chinese SUVs, hybrids, and EVs.

​Light vehicle imports straight from China to South Africa went from roughly 52,000 units in 2024 to over 91,000 in 2025, securing China's spot as SA's second-largest vehicle source country.

The ultimate sign of growth of Chinese mobility in South Africa is Cherry officially taking over an old Nissan manufacturing plant in Rosslyn, aiming for full local production by late 2027 to hit an annual target of over 100,000 units in local sales.

It might take time but Kenya is also headed the same direction.

If for sure those guys who raided Iko Nini are cops, then they have done their job. They were sending the pod a message of ‘ukae ukijua we are in your radar’. It’s more of causing someone psychological trauma and you start questioning yourself whether you really want to continue

Former CS Raphael Tuju being forcefully evicted from his KSh 2.2 billion Karen home at night raises serious questions.
Why conduct the eviction at night? Where were they during the day? This rubbish has started again.
If Raila was alive, he would have defended Raphael Tuju.

EXCLUSIVE: Desperate African men tell CNN they were lured by Russia into the war in Ukraine using promises of well-paying civilian jobs. But they were forced into the frontlines with little/no training, facing drones & racism.

For years, he strutted around the Republic like a constitutional exemption, lecturing citizens on austerity while quietly feeding at an illegal trough. Now the High Court has done what common sense has been screaming: you cannot loot the Constitution and call it expertise.

KSh 2.44 billion later, the mask is off. What was marketed as “economic wisdom” turns out to be patronage in academic robes, secretive appointments, no competition, no constitutional anchoring, just vibes and proximity to power. Ndii was unlawful.

The tragedy isn’t that the court stopped the scam. The tragedy is that for years, Kenya was held hostage by people who confused access to the President with authority under the Constitution.

The highlight of President William Ruto’s week was the launch of the long-awaited construction of the Rironi-Mau Summit Road, a transformative project expected to ease travel along the busy Western Corridor and open new economic frontiers.

Immediate, decisive, and transparent action to end the violence, hold perpetrators accountable, and restore peace is demanded.

The people of northern Nigeria or any part of Nigeria - cannot—and must not—be left to suffer alone.

[Ndu @nduokoh]

Every person deserves safety, dignity, and protection. Silence and inaction in the face of such brutality are not just failures of governance—they are failures of humanity. I stand in solidarity with the victims, their families, and all affected communities.
