Several auctioneering companies in Kenya have issued ultimatums for vehicle owners to collect their uncollected motor vehicles or face public auction. This comes after notices dated January 9, warning that vehicles not claimed within specified periods will be deemed abandoned and disposed of under the Disposal of Uncollected Goods Act (Cap. 38).

• A seven-day and 30-day ultimatum has been given for owners to collect their vehicles.
• The auctioneers are acting under court authority and statutory provisions to dispose of items lying idle at motor yards and police stations.
• Vehicles set for auction include an Isuzu pickup, a Land Rover, a Trailer, a Nissan Sunny, a Honda CR-V, and a Peugeot 404.
• Owners will be required to pay storage charges and other accrued costs to reclaim their vehicles.
