About this conversation
Buying a car is easy, However, buying the right car is hard.
Every year, thousands of Kenyans lose hundreds of thousand, sometimes millions of shilling. Not because they bought the wrong brand, but because they missed the warning signs before handing over their money. In this episode of The Power Dialogue Africa, I sit down with automotive technician Kennedy Muriithi to uncover the costly mistakes that most buyers never see.
Whether you are buying your first car, upgrading your current one, or simply want to understand how vehicles really work, this conversation could save you years of frustration and a lot of money. At The Power Dialogue Africa, we believe conversations build nations. We speak with the people shaping Africa, from engineers and entrepreneurs to farmers, policymakers, innovators and creators to uncover ideas that move the continent forward.
