Revealed; The Kenyan Who Bought KDA 001A Landcruiser Prado

In the wake of Covid-19, most people are panic-buying things they think they will miss if they are to stay indoors for a long time.

The weirdest thing to be bought in large numbers after Covid-19 was declared a global pandemic has been tissue paper. Within a day tissue paper sections in supermarkets boasted nothing but empty shelves.

The most normal thing to buy in such a situation is foodstuff. Many have stocked up their fridges in preparation for when the government will announce a total lockdown if it does comes to that. A huge percentage of Kenyans are already in self-quarantine playing their part in curbing the spread of Covid-19.

While everyone is buying foodstuffs and toiletries to prepare to stay at home, one Kenyan thought it was a perfect time to invest in a brand new Toyota Landcruiser Prado. The photo of the white luxurious car has been doing rounds on social media with many questioning the motive behind the purchase.

The vehicle happens to be the first to boast a number plate under the KD – category. It seems pretty obvious that the owner might have bought the Prado to become the first to take up the new line of number plate. He was actually the first as the car boasts the number plate KDA 001A. The first of its kind.

Some Kenyans have questioned the backdoors the owner had to go through to acquire the unique number plate. It is questionable whether Kenyans have exhausted the KC category yet as some people pointed out never seeing any KCZ vehicle around.

In all these, the biggest question has been who the owner of the vehicle is. Everyone is curious to know who will prioritize buying a luxurious at a tie when everyone is being asked to stay at home. Business Today acquired the car’s logbook which contains the owner’s details.

Geoffrey Andrew Mwiti, whom we know little about, decided to buy a Landcruiser during this quarantine time. He has managed to be the first to explore the KD- number plate line.

However, he might have to wait until the period of self-quarantine and isolation is over before he enjoys a ride in the new, luxurious, unique number-plated Prado.
