The National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) is set to launch a new digital logbook system on June 10, replacing the current physical logbooks to curb fraud and improve efficiency.

• The e-logbook system will feature 10 key enhancements, including automated reminders for compliance, free digital copies, cloud storage, and digital encryption to prevent forgery.
• Key organizations involved include the NTSA, banks, and SACCOs, which will benefit from direct integration for quicker loan approvals and ownership verification via QR codes.
• Notable features aim to streamline processes like ownership transfers, making them instant and online, and ensure real-time updates to ownership records.

The National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) has assured its staff that the transition to a new e-logbook system will not lead to job losses.

• Approximately 200 staff involved in manual logbook processing will be retrained and redeployed to roles in enforcement and compliance.
• NTSA Director General Nashon Kondiwa stated that this retraining will equip staff with skills to become transport specialists and road safety specialists.
• The digital shift is expected to create new job opportunities in areas like digital compliance and IT support, while also addressing issues of fake logbooks.
