The National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) has revoked the operator licence of Nicco Movers 1 Sacco following the death of a Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) student.

• The Sacco's licence was revoked due to a lack of adequate safety protocols and demonstrated loss of control over fleet operations.
• The incident involved the death of KMTC student Eugene Mutuku, who was allegedly thrown from a moving matatu on Thika Road on June 5.
• NTSA has directed law enforcement to impound any vehicles found operating under the Sacco, emphasizing that the vehicles are considered unsafe.

The Motorist Association of Kenya (MAK) has vehemently rejected the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA)'s decision to charge motorists for converting physical logbooks to e-logbooks, deeming it an unjustifiable "backdoor taxation."

• MAK labels the charges as "institutionalised extortion" and an unlawful, irrational practice.
• The association highlights that motorists have already paid registration fees that include logbook issuance.
• This follows a similar prior charge for digital driving licenses after payment for physical ones.
• MAK is calling for the immediate withdrawal of the e-logbook fees and an investigation into these recurring charges by relevant government bodies.

The Motorists Association of Kenya (MAK) has strongly rejected the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA)'s proposed fees for converting physical logbooks to electronic ones, calling the move "backdoor taxation."

• The association criticizes the fees as "unjustified and unreasonable," amounting to "institutionalised extortion."
• MAK also warned this reflects a systematic culture of duplicate charges for services motorists have already paid for, despite facing deteriorating road infrastructure.
