National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) has dispatched 4,000 to Mombasa to ease shortage.

The shortage has affected importers of second-hand vehicles.

According to NTSA director general Francis Meja, another consignment of the plates was to leave Nairobi for Mombasa last evening.

“We are okay with the directive. We support the directive. Our functions are wide. We will re-assign our officers who were on the roads…we are re-organising to focus on our mandate,” Mr Meja is quoted by Nation.

Importers had earlier in the week raised concerns of losing money at the port due to daily charges.
