Just days after President Uhuru Kenyatta ordered the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) to leave Kenyans roads over failure to tame road carnage, they authority has suffered another blow.
A Nakuru court rubbished its move to ban night travel for public service vehicles.
Nakuru Resident Magistrate Nancy Makau on Friday ruled that there is no provision within NTSA that gives it powers to issue licences to drivers who want to travel at night.
Makau made the ruling when he set free 13 drivers who had been arrested over night travel.
The drivers had spent the night at Mwariki police station.
NTSA has been blamed of incompetency and corruption which is said to have had an eefect on its operations.
They had released a statement on December 31 2017 banning night travel.
