The Kenya Transporters Association (KTA) is urging the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) to implement an immediate system for paying traffic fines via mobile money. This call comes after the NTSA released a list of instant fines for traffic violations.

• KTA advocates for ditching traditional court processes for traffic offenses, deeming them costly and inefficient.
• The association believes this change will decongest courts, improve judicial efficiency, enhance road safety, and reduce corruption.
• This proposal aligns with the government's digital transformation agenda, with several neighboring countries already using similar instant fine systems.

The Tourism Regulatory Authority (TRA) is threatening to suspend or revoke the licences of tour operators and tourist service vehicle providers found engaging in unlawful off-road driving within conservation areas.

• The crackdown follows numerous complaints and social media reports of tourist vehicles driving off-road in protected areas.
• This action by the TRA is a direct response to incidents undermining visitor safety and causing environmental degradation.
• Operators violating these regulations by February 28, 2026, face stern enforcement, including potential blacklisting.

The Federation of Public Transport Sector (FPTS) is urging the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) to implement mandatory periodic retraining and retesting for public service vehicle (PSV) drivers, as outlined in the National Road Safety Action Plan 2024-2028.

• The demand follows a recent tragic incident involving a Super Metro vehicle and a passenger's death.
• FPTS advocates for the immediate implementation of the plan's recommendations, including those for passenger protection and crew conduct.
• They also push for the adoption of technology to monitor and record accidents, citing the need to eliminate examiner bias in driver testing.
