Former Nominated Senator Paul Njoroge's car was collected by auctioneers over an outstanding debt of Ksh3 million with Meridian Acceptance Limited.
The loan which he got in 2016 was due for one year but six months into 2018, Mr Njoroge was yet to finish making the payment.
Meridian Acceptance Limited CEO James Ndwigah told the press that they had been forced to auction the Toyota VX after noting that the former senator had immobilized the tracking device installed on the car.

Ndigwah mentioned that Njoroge had been hiding the vehicle from them for the past six months.
“The car was listed as loan security but Njoroge removed the tracking device making it hard for us to locate it," Ndwigah stated.
He also indicated that by removing the tracking device and failing to pay the debt in its entirety, he had stolen the shylock's car.
Ndwigah further noted that Njoroge has been out of reach for the better part of the year prompting them to seek the intervention of the police in apprehending him.
The CEO also revealed that the former senator had submitted several invalid cheques.
On Saturday, Njoroge went public that his sh10 million car had been stolen from his Kitengela home by police officers but the vehicle was found in the vicinity of Meridian Acceptance Limited.
Njoroge also alleged that Ksh600,000 and several cheque books which were in the vehicle were stolen in the process.
Njoroge, however, is not new to this kind of controversy. In February 2017, he nearly shot the then VIVO Energy CEO Polycarp Igathe after he stormed his Shell petrol station along Naivasha-Nakuru highway trying to recover assets.
Igathe disclosed that the station had not paid money for the supply of fuel and was operating with no working capital.
