The National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) on Friday launched a joint operation with the National Police Service (NPS) targeting unroadworthy vehicles across the country.
This followed a Thursday directive by Transport Cabinet Secretary (CS) Kipchumba Murkomen who tasked NTSA with reining in motorists illegally using their private vehicles as Public Service Vehicles (PSVs) and operating unroadworthy vehicles.
"Joint NTSA NPS road safety enforcement exercise kicks off across the Country, following a directive on illegal PSV's by the Cabinet Secretary, Ministry of Roads and Transport, Hon. Onesimus Kipchumba Murkomen," NTSA said in an X statement on Friday.
By Saturday, NTSA reported that it had impounded several vehicles that did not meet the required operating criteria.
"Several unroadworthy public service vehicles (PSV) impounded in a multi-agency crackdown across the country spearheaded by NTSA and National Police. Several others could not pass the inspection at NTSA motor vehicle inspection centres," NTSA said in a statement.
