The National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) now risks losing millions over the slow uptake in the collection of driving licences by applicants.
Auditor General Nancy Gathungu, in her report for the year ended June 2024, revealed that 572,674 driving license cards valued at Ksh176,269,057 were still in the custody of the Authority, depicting a worrying trend in the collection of the crucial documents.
She noted that NTSA remained with 572,674 uncollected cards after returning about 1,750,000 сагds to the supplier to reduce un-invoiced stock earlier delivered.
According to Gathungu, NTSA entered into an agreement with the National Bank of Kenya for the production, delivery and maintenance of over 5 million second-generation smart card-based driving licences.
