This is one of the recommendations of a study by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the University of Nairobi commissioned by the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC). The study looked at the prospect of promoting cleaner and more fuel-efficient vehicles in order to reduce localised air pollution, greenhouse gas emissions and national fuel bills. "The vehicle population in the country has been increasing at between 10 and 12 per cent each year since 2003 and as of 2012 we had 2.02 million vehicles on our roads," Energy and Petroleum Principal Secretary Joseph Njoroge said. This growth rate, he stated, is far higher than the rate of development of the road network, with the bulk of this traffic concentrated in the cities. "We are talking with the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) and the National Treasury to introduce incentives for purchasing fuel-efficient cars and lowering the age limit to five years," stated Njoroge. "It may be too late to have this in place for the 2015/2016 budget but we are still engaging with them and the bigger picture is that there are economic gains to be made at the macro-level."
