KDF Vehicles Being transported By Trucks Spotted on Mombasa Road

A fleet of trucks transporting newly acquired Kenya Defense Forces vehicles on Wednesday caused public excitement from motorists and commuters.

The long queue of flatbed trucks was seen at Mlolongo, Machakos, on their way to Nairobi causing a traffic snarl-up on the busy road.

Pictures circulating on social media showed tens of trucks neatly arranged in one long queue alongside other motorists.

Reports indicate that the police lorries that were mounted on the flatbed trucks were destined for an undisclosed location.

The military vehicles being transported were mixed including 6-wheeled trucks and water trucks. The transportation of military vehicles is a critical component of defense logistics.

However, Kenyans took to the internet to express their thoughts about the procession amid a hard economic time.

Notably on January12, the Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen had announced that security agencies including the National Police Service (NPS) and the KDF would receive 3,000 new vehicles.
