December 5, 2019, marked a day when a concerned citizen reached out to Kenya Insights with a rather unusual topic - Jeff Koinange's Mercedes G-Class, worth approximately Sh14 million, was seen operating without a number plate.
According to our source, 'have you noticed that Jeff has had this car for sometime without a number plate? If this was an average citizen he'd already have been arrested. It's illegal, how does KRA, NTSA and even the police allow such? I'm appalled that JEFF has been getting away with this, kindly highlight.'
Our random searches confirmed that indeed Mr. Koinange's car doesn't hold any displayed number plate, raising eyebrows. Interestingly, President Uhuru, his cousin, owns and has been spotted driving a similar car, incidentally, without a number plate.
Many questions are now being raised as to why Mr. Koinange is allowed to move around with his unmarked car without any consequences, most Kenyans who've attempted this have been prosecuted. Is it a case of open impunity given his relationship with the President or just an open bias of justice?
Below are some of the photos of his number plate less car.
