The Kenya Transporters Association (KTA) has directed transport operators to adjust truck drivers' salaries to align with newly revised minimum wage rates, effective from May 1, 2026.

• Ksh40,724.23 is the basic minimum monthly wage for heavy commercial vehicle drivers in major cities, with provisions for housing allowance.
• The Kenya Transporters Association (KTA) is mandating this review for all transport operators.
• This directive follows President William Ruto's announcement of a 12% general and 15% agricultural worker minimum wage increase on May 1.

The National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) has launched a nationwide crackdown on motorists with expired driving licences, vehicle insurance, and other critical documents, commencing the operation in Turkana County on Wednesday, September 10.

• The enforcement drive, conducted jointly with the National Police Service (NPS), targets traffic violations including expired licences, insurance, and defective speed governors.
• Benard Boni, an NTSA official, highlighted defective speed governors and a lack of insurance as significant issues.
• Penalties include fines up to Ksh20,000 or three months imprisonment for expired licences, and fines up to Ksh10,000 for driving without insurance.
