Kenya's transport regulator, the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA), has intensified rules governing the use of dealer registration ("KD") plates to prevent misuse and improve road safety.

• The NTSA is enforcing Section 24 of the Traffic Act, clarifying that KD plates are not a replacement for standard plates and are strictly for licensed dealer activities like vehicle testing or transfers.
• Dealers must pay annual fees, with new KD plates costing Sh18,500 and renewals at Sh6,300.
• The regulator also reminded motorists that all vehicles on public roads require at least third-party insurance and warned against using temporary, improvised number plates.
