A section of legislators are now calling for the disbandment of the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA).

The lawmakers have accused the authority of incompetence.

Director-General Francis Meja has been accused of dereliction of duty following the death of 38 people at Migaa in Nakuru County on Sunday.

The lawamkers led by Senate Majority Leader Moses Wetang’ula said the authority should not be allowed to carry out its mandate again.

“NTSA must be disbanded,” Mr Wetangula wrote in a tweet while accusing the authority of sending panic within the transport industry.

“You can’t run a 24hr economy by curtailing workers’ travel. The world is on the move.”

His counterpart in the National Assembly, John Mbadi, also dismissed the night travel ban as a knee-jerk reaction.

“The ban is not a solution…it is more of an emotional outburst which worsens the situation,” Mr Mbadi is quoted by Nation.
