Uber has introduced stricter rules for its drivers in Kenya in a bid to enhance customer satisfaction and stimulate demand as the influx of chauffeurs on the app weighs down individual earnings.

To minimise new driver entry into the platform and boost quality of service, the ride-hailing firm has tightened vehicle age requirements, allowing only much newer cars to operate on the platform, locking out scores of drivers with older car models.
