The National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) is seeking affordable funding from the World Bank and Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) to reform Kenya's public service vehicle (PSV) sector.

• The initiative aims to create a dedicated fund offering operators financing at below-market interest rates.
• NTSA Director General Nashon Kondiwa highlighted the need for more structured public transport, citing operators' limited financial capacity to renew aging fleets as a key challenge.
• This comes amidst concerns over PSV safety, including a recent fatal accident involving a recklessly driven matatu.
