The Kenyan government, through the Insurance Regulatory Authority (IRA), is launching a major crackdown on "rogue insurance companies" exploiting Public Service Vehicle (PSV) operators. This initiative follows a public petition highlighting issues like the failure to remit premiums and settle claims, aiming to restore accountability in the sector.

• Only three companies are currently licensed to transact PSV insurance in Kenya, a sector deemed high-risk.
• IRA Chief Executive Officer Godfrey Kiptum stated that non-compliant insurers face regulatory action, including statutory management and the appointment of board directors.
• Individuals convicted of negligence or fraud risk fines of up to Ksh5 million or imprisonment for up to two years.
• The Federation of Public Transport Sector (FPTS), represented by Chairperson Kushian Muchiri, called for reforms in handling personal injury claims, proposing the integration of the Small Claims Court framework.
