Kenya's Ministry of Transport plans nationwide public awareness campaigns before implementing mandatory annual vehicle inspections for all vehicles, including private cars older than four years.

• The new rules proposed by the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) aim to improve road safety by detecting vehicle defects earlier.
• Transport Cabinet Secretary Davis Chirchir assured Parliament that stakeholder consultations are underway to ensure practicality and effectiveness.
• The government is considering decentralizing vehicle inspection services through licensed private centres due to the estimated Ksh300 million cost per government-run centre.
