They will steal government property. Some of those cars will be auctioned new

Several levels of approval are required before the decision to dispose is arrived at e.g if cost of repair exceeds 30% (?) of book value, etc.

that is as simple as “talking” to a few officials in and. about the office.

Not directly, the PS must approve any disposal of stores but of course he can be conned or rarely, be part of the irregular disposal. Note that a public servant can rarely steal government property. He can only misuse, misappropriate government property or funds. It can only be theft if it was actual break in into the property

The version going to restoration is the short wheelbase Mercedes that Jomo didn’t use as much in his travel. Moi wanted to sell the fleet but instead changed his mind and the other vehicles cannibalized for parts to keep the Pullman in good shape. But people eventually ended up stealing the rest of the parts

The original Pullman is still in very good condition and is very well maintained. Uhuru should bring this out more for state dinners which guests or during National celebrations.

Never seen the need for proxies hata. There used to be a provision for employees of that dep’t to be given priority in disposal of excess/ unserviceable stores. Not sure if it’s still there though.

Still there, kuna a landcruiser, I have indicated it to be unserviceablein the motor vehicle return, waiting for it to be bonded, restoration will cost me 200k at a certain Njugush, but it’s worth it.

This was a classic! Sad that we can mutilate a presidential vehicle to this level. We should borrow a leave from cubans who use very old cars. This reminds me sometime back there was a talk about his mechanic
“Muia wa Mercedes”.

I have driven 1970s vehicles, i have driven 1980s vehicles, and I have driven modern vehicles including the allion being discussed here in mud. The moderns one dont suffer failure in mud easily and have more power. Most old vehicles are easily broken by mud. You will suffer an overheated or damaged engine often, overheated and damaged ignition coil, a damaged or wet distributor, over-flooded carburetor due to flooring the accelerator, snapped shafts or worn shaft, damaged steering relay or steering mechanism out of order, burnt clutch, sliping clutch that neither disengages nor locks. newer engines give more power and are more reliable in mud, the power steering makes things easy in mud. I have seen a drivers hand broken by a landrover series 109 steering. Steering inakuendesha si wewe unaiendesha. Efficiency ata usiseme. A carburetor vehicle can burn your pockets dry in mud. the only advantage is that old cast iron block engines are easily repaired and remachined.
When it comes to the body, modern cars may have thinner panels to save weight but a stronger structure design. like if you hit a 1980s door from the side with a modern car it will just carve in while for the modern car you might just need to wipe the foreign paint off. old cars with premium aluminuim body are easier to straighten and dont tear on bending and therefore seem durable. Old cars have metallic bumpers bolted to chassis and you can push on them forever and wont damage them. modern cars have plastic bumpers easily damaged in pushing and pulling.
When I dealt with old generation cars only i thought new ones are weaker, delicate and unreliable based on the fact that they are automatic, have power steering and have plastic bumpers. Ilikuwa tu ignorance na being a sticker to old stuff. Wangapi hapa wamenunua meno ya gearbox automatic? They hardly fail unless they have known issues like volkswagen

Hi, sorry I’m rather late to this party.
…Well said % true. Especially a slipping clutch when going uphill, nightmare tupu.
