The National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) has responded to a recent report by the Auditor General which claimed that the agency had lost control of its Transport Integrated Management System (TIMS).
In a statement on Wednesday, 23 July, the NTSA clarified that it holds the complete intellectual property rights to TIMS, a central platform crucial to all of the authority's digital services. "In response to media reports that NTSA has no control over its system, the authority wishes to clarify that the system is fully owned and controlled by NTSA, with complete intellectual property (IP) rights vested in the Authority," the statement read.
This clarification follows a report by Auditor General Nancy Gathungu which suggested that the authority had outsourced the key functions of the TIMS system to private developers.
