MAK Raises Concerns Over NTSA's Regulation of Matatu Sector

The Motorists Association of Kenya (MAK) has raised concerns about the National Transport and Safety Authority's (NTSA) ability to effectively monitor vehicle ownership in the matatu sector. MAK challenged NTSA's explanation that regulation is difficult due to a lack of clear data on investors and ownership structures. The association also criticized inconsistent enforcement of safety rules and ongoing dangerous practices on Kenyan roads, urging NTSA to strengthen regulation and accountability. NTSA is also set to take on a new role in inspecting the industry.
