Here's why Joseph Boinnet Is Calling Out Kenyans With Armored Cars
Joseph Boinnet, the inspector General
is calling up Kenyans who own armored cars to report to the Kenya
Revenue Authority (KRA). He cited Security Laws Amendment act 2014 as the reason
for the crackdown.
The law states that it is illegal to own an armored vehicle unless you
are licensed to have it. A new Firearms
Licensing Board will be established in the near future by the inspector General
where the board is expected to include members of Kenya Wildlife Service, the
National Police and representatives from the Attorney General’s office, reports The
Standard.
Boinnet said in an advertisement promoting the push for armored vehicles
to be reported, “any person who manufactures, assembles, purchases,
acquires or has in his possession an armoured vehicle without approval shall
subject to this Act be guilty of an offence.”
The Inspector General further called on those who plan to import armored
cars to also follow the law.
