Following a fatal crash on the Mai Mahiu–Narok Road that resulted in multiple fatalities, the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) has escalated its nationwide road safety enforcement efforts.

• 8 people were confirmed dead, including the driver and seven passengers of a Voxy vehicle, after a truck lost control and collided head-on with it.
• The NTSA is collaborating with the National Police Service to investigate the incident and inform future road safety interventions.
• The crackdown includes intensifying Operation Watoto Wafike Salama nationwide, focusing on school transport compliance as schools reopen.

Ahead of Kenya's Term Two school reopening, the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) has mandated a fresh wave of safety inspections for all school transport vehicles nationwide.

• The inspections are part of the Watoto Wafike Salama initiative to ensure learner safety.
• Key organization: National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA).
• This directive follows a recent fatal crash on the Narok-Mahi Mahiu road that claimed seven lives, intensifying road safety compliance checks by a multi-agency team.

A parliamentary watchdog committee has ordered the National Land Commission (NLC) to recover six acres of land in Voi Municipality that was earmarked for a National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) motor vehicle inspection centre but has since been grabbed.

• The land, originally designated for public use in 1969, is now occupied by squatters who have moved to court to block eviction.
• MPs on the National Assembly’s Public Investments Committee on Governance and Education questioned the suitability of an alternative parcel offered by the Taita Taveta County Government.
• An audit query flagged inconsistencies in NTSA’s property records, with only two out of 15 parcels for inspection centres nationwide having valid title deeds.
