The Kenya Orient Insurance has reviewed its underwriting guidelines for Toyota Probox car.
The new guidelines state that owners of affected cars should sign a declaration of use witnessed by an advocate.
“The new guidelines are aimed at curbing misuse of Probox vehicles while also enhancing accountability in our underwriting operations,
however, the company wishes to reiterate that a majority of Probox owners insured with us continue to adhere to the guidelines and terms of the insurance policy,” said the insurer.
The firm says it has encountered misuse of vehicles for purposes other than stated in the insurance policy.
This forced the company to discontinue the insurance cover in certain cases where owners have been found to violate underwriting guidelines
and the terms of the insurance contract.
“Kenya Orient Insurance Limited wishes to clarify that the company has not discontinued insurance covers for Toyota Probox vehicles as reported in sections of the media,” the firm said in a statement.
