The government will now deregister all driving schools to register them afresh after a serious vetting exercise.
This is a move aimed at curbing increasing cases of road accidents in the country.
While giving the update, acting Interior CS Fred Matiang'i said the vetting will aim at registering only those schools that meet the qualification threshold.
"We need to know who is qualified. We are giving licences to murderous [people]. How is it that we don't review their health every year?" Matiang'i said.
He was speaking in Nairobi on Tuesday.
The CS said that controlling the deaths on roads must start with the driving schools.
"NTSA will provide a criteria and frameworks to guide the driving schools. They shall have to be registered again," he said.
"When we start getting challenges on the road we start asking about the driving schools. We cannot continue with this madness."
