A proposed law seeks to create an independent agency, the Kenya Transportation Safety Board, to investigate transport accidents, potentially stripping this function from the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) and other existing regulators.

• The Kenya Transportation Safety Board Bill, 2026 aims to establish a new, independent body to investigate accidents across road, rail, air, and maritime transport.
• Key organizations involved include the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA), the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority, and the Kenya Maritime Authority, which would retain their enforcement roles.
• The proposal was considered by the National Assembly's Budget and Appropriations Committee on Thursday, August 6, with discussions focusing on financial implications and potential mandate overlaps.
