Private vehicle owners in Nairobi, Kenya have condemned the government's plan for mandatory inspections of cars older than four years, arguing it will burden car owners financially amidst economic challenges.

• The proposed inspections aim to enhance road safety and vehicle roadworthiness.
• The Motorists Association of Kenya (MAK) claims the plan empowers corrupt officials to exploit drivers.
• The directive, announced by Transport Cabinet Secretary Davis Chirchir, may also impact commercial and public service vehicles.
