Kenyan authorities are preparing to auction uncollected motorcycles and cars after owners failed to claim them within the required period. Three gazette notices outline the sales of items held at police stations and a storage facility. Owners have a final chance to retrieve their property by paying associated costs.
Licensed auctioneers have issued notices to sell unclaimed motorcycles and motor vehicles under the Disposal of Uncollected Goods Act. This follows a 30-day period after public announcements, aimed at clearing space at police stations and private lots.
Kerati Auctioneers, authorized by the Principal Magistrate’s Court at Winam in Miscellaneous Application No. E125 of 2025, plans to auction motorcycles stored at Migosi Police Station. The list includes five Boxer models, two Hondas, two TVS, one Sanya, and one Sonlink. Owners must collect them within 30 days from the gazette publication date and cover the notice's publication expenses; otherwise, the items will be sold publicly without further notice.
In another action, Fancy Friends Auctioneers targets motor vehicles at Autogari Kenya Limited, as per Gazette Notice No. 18351. The vehicles comprise a BMW (KBX 923T), Nissan Sylphy (KBW 950G), Subaru Forester (KBY 101L), Discovery 3 (KBT 910U), Daihatsu (KDK 236T), and Subaru Outback (KCP 165X). Owners face the same 30-day deadline to reclaim them.
Windsor House Auctioneers, acting under court order from the Principal Magistrate’s Court in Kitui (Miscellaneous Application Case No. E205 of 2025), will auction items at Nzambani Police Station. These include three Skygo motorbikes, one Honda motorcycle, one Boxer bike, three motorcycle scraps, and one bicycle scrap. The auctioneers emphasize that failure to act will result in permanent loss of the property through public sale.
These proceedings highlight efforts to manage impounded goods efficiently, urging owners to respond promptly to avoid forfeiture.
