Government is working on a National electric policy that will enable the adoption of low-emission vehicle mobility.
Addressing a delegation from Uber in Nairobi, Transport CS Kipchumba murkomen stressed that the policy will enable Kenya to be placed on the global map in assimilating low-emission vehicle mobility.
“Currently, the Government is working on a National Electric Mobility Policy which will place Kenya on the global map in adopting low-emission vehicle mobility,” the CS stated.
The CS has urged the digital taxi companies to generate a business model that will enable drivers and vehicle owners to access affordable funding for electric vehicles.
He emphasized that the move will reinforce the Bottom-up Economic Transformative Agenda (BETA) agenda, which aims to adopt low-emission vehicle mobility in the country.
“ I have encouraged Uber and other digital taxi-hailing companies to support the BETA Agenda in coming up with a business model that will help investors, particularly drivers and vehicle owners, access affordable funding for electric vehicles and bodabodas,”
he added.
