The number of motorcycles imported into the country in the first half of this year jumped 79.2 per cent compared to last year, reflecting popular demand for the bikes made cheaper by the removal of Sh10,000 excise duty per unit in September 2016.
Statistics by the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics(KNBS) showed 126,822 motorcycles were imported in the first half of this year, up from 70,770 units imported in the same period last year.
