The National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) has launched a new crackdown on vehicles across seven counties in a bid to curb rising road fatalities. The initiative, a partnership with Nakuru, Kakamega, Kericho, Kisumu, Makueni, Nairobi, and Siaya counties, aims to strengthen road safety measures and improve public transport management.
Speaking during a meeting in Naivasha, NTSA Director General George Njau emphasised that the collaboration would enhance accessibility, service pedestrian walkways, and promote non-motorised transport. "This initiative underscores NTSA's commitment to fostering strong partnerships with county administrations to tackle the various factors contributing to road user and pedestrian fatalities," said Njau.

The NTSA boss clarified that the approach is not merely about penalising traffic offenders but rather focusing on proactive engagement, awareness campaigns, and data-driven interventions.
