The Motorists Association of Kenya (MAK) has strongly rejected the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA)'s proposed fees for converting physical logbooks to electronic ones, calling the move "backdoor taxation."

• MAK argues that motorists have already paid for logbooks during vehicle registration and should not incur additional costs for the government's digitisation agenda.
• The association criticizes the fees as "unjustified and unreasonable," amounting to "institutionalised extortion."
• MAK also warned this reflects a systematic culture of duplicate charges for services motorists have already paid for, despite facing deteriorating road infrastructure.
