NTSA PSV Crackdown Leaves Students Stranded as School Reopen

The Motorists Association of Kenya (MAK) has called upon the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) to adopt a better way to conduct the ongoing crackdown on Public Service Vehicles (PSV) ferrying students back to school.

In a statement on Wednesday, the association revealed that the current approach had left several students stranded on the roads, exposing them to even more dangers than unroadworthy PSVs.

As such, the motorists urged NTSA to come up with a better way that puts the students' safety first. "We are concerned that the ongoing NTSA crackdown on PSVs has left many students stranded on their way back to school, exposing young girls and boys to insecurity, exploitation, and inflated fares," part of MAK's statement read.
