“You can’t have kidnapping, you can’t have some of these incidences without being mobile, either the use of vehicles, bikes or tricycles, and most of the vehicles they use now are tinted and that is why we want to clamp down on the use of tinted glasses.”
“Even when importing a vehicle, all tinted glasses must be removed.
“We don’t expect dealers to be selling vehicles with tinted glasses, whether factory-fitted or man-made.”
