  "summary": "Kenya has introduced a new set of registration plates with the letters and numbers KEA. The letters and numbers on the plate follow a specific pattern, with the letter K representing the national prefix and the following two letters identifying the registration series. The digits after the letters run from 001 to 999 within each letter combination. The final letter in the sequence is also part of the numbering system, helping to expand the available combinations for vehicle registration. The KEA series is a continuation of the national civilian registration sequence and is not associated with any particular county or the vehicle owner. The new registration system is part of the ongoing expansion of Kenya's vehicle registration system as more vehicles are added to the national register.",
