On June 1, 2013, Nyakundi Report noted police concerns over a rising wave of vehicle theft in Nairobi, where authorities said more than 60 cars were being stolen every month.
The warning was associated with Nyale Munga, identified as the chief intelligence officer in Nairobi, who pointed to the increase in theft cases as the reason for the growing monthly losses.
The report did not provide additional details on arrests, recovery operations, or the specific methods used by the thieves. It nevertheless underscored the scale of the problem in the capital, where vehicle owners were facing a steady and costly pattern of theft.
