The government, through the Ministry of Transport, has announced plans to establish more vehicle inspection centres in every county as part of a broader strategy to curb road accidents across the country.
Appearing before the National Assembly Committee on Transport on Friday, April 11, Cabinet Secretary Davis Chirchir stated that the government would partner with relevant dealers to facilitate the establishment of the inspection centres. "We will be opening up inspection space to all the major dealers who make the licensing requirements for inspection and provide equipment for inspection so that the licensing should be done in every county," Chirchir told the committee members.
The session, which was also attended by National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) Director General George Njao, saw Chirchir give an update on the recent rollout of digital cameras along major highways.
