The Long Distance Drivers and Conductors Association (LoDDCA) has called on the National Police Service to intervene, following an influx of undocumented drivers flooding the industry.
Citing a now-flagged report by the NPS that at least 122 foreigners had been arrested for infiltrating the June 17 and June 25 protests, the association urged police to extend the crackdown to these drivers. "This should narrow down to the transport industry, too.
The National Police Service has an influx of foreigners without proper documentation in some of these transport companies," LoDCCA stated.
Backing the long-distance drivers was the Road Safety Awareness Initiative-Kenya, which claimed that these undocumented drivers posed a risk to other drivers, as most are unfamiliar with Kenyan road laws.
