Vile I left Kenya and travelled the rest of the world is when I knew how disadvantaged and underprivileged we are damn. Our lives are literally fighting for things that are considered basic, if you go to a country like Germany you kinda have your life laid out for you until you die. You are born, free school, Ausbildung or university then given a job, buy a house, buy a car, save live and die peacefully. Then govt sells the house to another person hivo hivo it’s like a never ending cycle. And everyone has made peace with it.
The way people respond to a bubbly personality really concerns me. Ever since I was a kid I noticed how people try to break your spirit when you’re too nice, too happy, too outgoing, too friendly. People that wanna know why you’re so gung-ho are unwell and are out to get you

CFAO Mobility Kenya has some of the best Market Research Analysts we have in the country.
They recognized a high potential market opportunity to disrupt and scale within the informal Matatu sector and the commercial logistics industry (Trucking).
Part 1: The Matatu Card. 🚐
In 2021 Toyota by CFAO Mobility Kenya made an announcement that surprised many and had a huge impact on the Matatu Industry. This announcement had some car dealers in the gray market ( dealers in foreign used vehicles) saying that the move would not see the light of day.
Toyota by CFAO Mobility Kenya dropped the price of the Toyota Hiace H200 Commuter van to Ksh.4.51 Million. A price tag equivalent to that of an 8 year old foreign used (Mtumba) H200 Commuter van.
How did they do this?
Before 2021, fully built imported Hiace vans (FBUs) were slapped with steep import duties that inflated showroom prices.
In June of 2021, CFAO Mobility officially
commissioned their first dedicated local assembly
line for the Hiace H200 at the Associated Vehicle
Assemblers (AVA) plant in Mombasa. The reasoning behind this is move was to take advantage of
government granting zero-rated import duties and
excise tax exemptions on Completely Knocked
Down (CKD) kits.
CFAO immediately passed these
huge tax savings onto buyers, lowering brand-new
unit costs equivalent to the price of 8-year-old second-hand (mtumba) imports.
By last year, (2025), annual sales of the Hiace
climbed drastically to 1,176 units, a 65.1% increase
from 712 units in 2024
To keep up with this massive demand from mainly matatus, school transport, and others, CFAO Mobility launched an additional KES 2.3 billion production line for the Hiace at the Kenya
Vehicle Manufacturers (KVM) plant in Thika in
June 2026.
Today over 90% of Toyota Hiace Commuter Vans bought for Matatu use are brand new (Zero mileage).
Stay tuned for Part 2: The Truck Card...
