The Communications Authority (CA) of Kenya has announced a crackdown on unlicensed vehicle tracking and fleet management service providers.

Vehicle tracking and fleet management services offer tools and systems that enable entities to monitor and manage their vehicle fleets, primarily to enhance safety and operational efficiency, particularly for businesses that rely on transportation.

These services involve GPS tracking, telematics data analysis, and fleet management software, providing real-time insights into vehicle location, driver behaviour, and maintenance requirements.

In a notice displayed on my government website on Tuesday, July 15, CA's Director General, David Mugonyi, stated that all entities, including financial institutions, motor vehicle dealers, and other public and private entities, must engage with licensed providers to ensure compliance with regulatory and legal requirements.
