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.
