Kenyans In Diaspora To enjoy Duty Waiver On Cars

President Uhuru Kenyatta announced this when he met Kenyans living in the US state of New York at a reception on Thursday night.

President Kenyatta had in August 2014 made a pledge that Government will facilitate the arrangement but it was delayed because such arrangements concerning importations of vehicles have to be done in consultation with the East African Community.

President Kenyatta said the consultations with the EAC will be held in January 2015 but a temporary arrangement has been made which is set to begin in November.

Under the program, those who live in countries like the United States where vehicles are left-hand will be allowed to import a right-hand vehicle of similar value duty free.
