The cars that Mutua buys seem to be mutumbas. From the subarus to now the Tiidas. I thought govt procurement regulations are very clear that the govt does not buy used cars - since this can be abused by individuals to supply govt with junks. And was tendering done for the supply of these vehicles, was it advertised?

Which government...Government of Kenya or Government of Machakos?

Well...That would probably happen in your county, not in Machakos...Unatoka wapi? Hatujui kuiba

Obviously there is always a risk that some wheeler dealer can scam you, but is that a good enough reason to deter you from doing the ideal and most reasonable thing.

I suppose you as an individual do appreciate that 90% of Kenyan population who own cars actually opt for second hands. You might constitute this number yourself.

If it makes sense for you and I, so should it be for Tax payer funded institutions.

Ways ought to be found to mitigate the risk you raise, but certainly not to abandon a good thing out of paranoia

In my honest opinion.. 120 cars are unnecessary for Machakos county..

There was a thread someone had started about people chewing their words. This belongs there.

I bet @kula raha is currently hiding under a thicket like @Quincy Timberlake!

Yep, how suitable are those vehicles for the job considering the poor roads in the county? Even in syokimau the roads are in tatters.

Mbwa na gari za polisi, ni za kushika kaluvu?
