NTSA pulls the plug on 64 Matatu Saccos' licenses

Stung by runaway accidents and increasing cases of loss of lives on Kenyan roads, the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) has withdrawn the licenses of 64 Saccos due to non-compliance.

NTSA’s Director General, George Njao, announced the suspensions in a notice issued on Thursday, May 2. Among the affected Saccos are Mbukinya, Manama Travellers, Welkan 48 Travellers Sacco, Kiambu United Travellers Sacco, Moline Safaris and Southleigh Savings and Credit Cooperative Society Ltd, among others.

“Transport operators not meeting the minimum requirement of PSV Regulations 2014, i.e. the minimum threshold of serviceable vehicles, non-compliance with road service licences, inspection certificate and PSV licences are hereby suspended,” Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen directed.

This action by NTSA follows Transport Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen’s directive to suspend licenses for Public Service Vehicles (PSVs) that failed to adhere to various operational rules and guidelines.

“The National Police Service (NPS) has been advised to impound any vehicles belonging to the sixty-four Saccos/Companies found operating contrary to the suspension,” NTSA directed.

The authority further cautioned the public against using vehicles operated by these Saccos/companies to avoid any inconvenience.

Additionally, the National Police Service (NPS) has been instructed to seize any vehicles belonging to these 64 Saccos/companies found operating in defiance of the suspension. Murkomen underscored the importance of PSV operators meeting the minimum requirements outlined in the PSV Regulations 2014, such as possessing serviceable vehicles, complying with road service licenses, inspection certificates, and PSV licenses.
