EACC to partner with NTSA to enhance sanity in the road transport sector
14:02:2025 In an effort to combat corruption and enhance safety on the roads, EACC’s CEO Mr Abdi Mohamud today hosted the Director General of the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA), Mr George Njao, at the Integrity Centre, Nairobi.
The meeting identified strategic areas of collaboration and partnership between the two institutions to reinforce sanity in the road transport sector.
In their discussions, the two leaders resolved to swiftly deal with corrupt practices, such as bribery, in high-risk areas including motor vehicle inspection, licensing (driver and SACCO licenses, public transport operator, digital taxi, and commercial vehicles), and drivers’ training and testing.
EACC CEO emphasized the importance of the integrity of the NTSA processes and noted the impact of non-compliance on society.
“When you give a driver’s license to a non-qualified person or an inspection license to an un-roadworthy motor vehicle, you are simply licensing to kill,” he said.
The NTSA Director General reiterated the significance of the collaboration with EACC and the potential the partnership had in fixing the mess on our roads. “We are one government and must work together to bring sanity in the transport sector,” Mr Njao said.
He was accompanied by, among other senior officers, the Director, Motor Vehicle Inspection, Engineer Angela Wanjira; Director, Corporate Services, Jacob Sisey; Deputy Director, Licensing, Eva Nyawira; and Deputy Director, Training and Testing, Wilson Tuigong.
Also present in the meeting was EACC’s Director for Investigations, Paschal Mweu; Deputy Director, Forensic Investigations, Humphrey Mahiva, and other senior officers.
The cooperation between EACC and NTSA marks a significant step towards creating a safer, reliable and efficient road transport service.
