The National Transport and Safety Authority and the National Police Service yesterday launched a joint operation targeting unroadworthy vehicles across the country.
This was in response to a directive issued on Thursday by Transport Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen, who directed NTSA to crack down on motorists illegally using their private vehicles as Public Service Vehicles and operating unroadworthy vehicles.
According to NTSA in its X account, “Joint NTSA NPS road safety enforcement exercise kicks off across the Country, following a directive on illegal PSVs by the Cabinet Secretary, Ministry of Roads and Transport, Hon. Onesimus Kipchumba Murkomen,”
By Saturday, NTSA reported that it had impounded several vehicles that did not meet the required operating criteria.
