“I was wondering whether I don’t deserve to drive after I went viral the other day. It’s not that I went and paid for the car, I’m a brand ambassador for Toyota and we’ve been pushing the Hilux and we’ve pushed it for one and a half years now so we want to change and see if we can get into the Prado line,” Ferdinand Omanyala explained.
“However, that’s a decision that has to be made by the CFAO mobility but the content spread widely and I’m grateful for anyone who shared and the car is Ksh 24 million by the way. So, if you want that, you can get it and it’s a very good car.”
