Speaking during the flag-off ceremony, Joshua Anya, Deputy Managing Director at CFAO Mobility Kenya, emphasized the significance of the long-standing partnership with the National Police Service (NPS).
“For more than a decade we have shared a strong partnership with the National Police Service that goes beyond vehicles.
Each fleet renewal cycle strengthens operational mobility and enhances the ability of officers to serve communities across Kenya.
This continued engagement reflects confidence in mobility solutions built on quality, durability and reliability, providing a strong foundation for effective public service and national security.”

Once fully deployed, the expanded fleet is expected to enhance police mobility, improve response times, and strengthen security operations across the country.
Welcoming the new fleet, Mr. Gilbert Masengeli, Deputy Inspector General of the Kenya Administration Police Service, highlighted the operational importance of reliable mobility in policing.
“The addition of this fleet ensures our officers are better equipped to respond promptly and deliver security services efficiently across the country.
The Toyota Land Cruiser is well suited to our operational demands given its robustness and reliable performance across varied environments, enabling officers to carry out their duties effectively.”
The initiative is delivered through a public–private partnership financing structure, bringing together mobility, leasing, and banking expertise showcasing how public–private sector collaboration can unlock innovative mobility and financing solutions that strengthen national institutions and enhance service delivery.
