Shocking Revelation: PSV Licenses Unlawfully Revoked by NTSA

NTSA caught in controversy over PSV operators' licenses, details inside!

In a surprising turn of events, the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) has come under fire for unlawfully revoking the licenses of PSV operators. This controversial move has sparked outrage among the transport community in Kenya. The NTSA's actions have raised questions about the legality and transparency of their operations.

The origin of this issue dates back to the reforms introduced by former Transport Minister John Michuki in 2003. Among these reforms was the mandatory registration of public service vehicles (PSVs) with a Savings and Credit Cooperative Society. However, the recent license revocations by NTSA seem to contradict the spirit of these earlier reforms, leading to confusion and frustration among operators.

The repercussions of NTSA's actions are significant, impacting the livelihoods of countless PSV operators who rely on their licenses to provide essential transportation services. The uncertainty caused by the sudden revocations has put many operators in a precarious position, highlighting the need for clearer regulations and enforcement procedures in the transport sector.

In light of these developments, ongoing discussions are underway between PSV operators, regulatory authorities, and stakeholders to address the legality of the license revocations and seek solutions to safeguard the interests of operators. The outcome of these discussions will shape the future of the PSV industry in Kenya and determine the extent of accountability within regulatory bodies such as NTSA.
