Thika Superhighway, our first major multi-lane road project, was never officially launched, we simply found ourselves driving on it one day. Same goes for the Kenol–Marua road & the first NFD roads,among many feeder roads. Yet a 200-metre project is accompanied by so much noise.
For FULL INFORMATION:
1. My kid bro was on the road @ntsa_kenya said he was though he didn’t know the speed he was driving at.
2. When my bro sent me the text from @ntsa_kenya , I told him to verify before he paid.
3. He called the number on it & was told to pay the fine in any @KCBInKenya nearest to him.
4. When my bro returned to Nairobi, he went to KCB Branch at Freedom Heights on Lang’ata Road.
5. My bro went to a bank teller who confirmed the fine is legitimate & that he can pay the fine.
6. My bro paid the fine & was issued with a KCB receipt!
The entire process looked so legitimate except that after paying, my bro got the text alert that the money was paid to an account of CATHERINE JERONO TOMNO.
Unless @ntsa_kenya & @KCBInKenya publicly respond to this, then we will assume that they are part of a scheme to defraud Kenyans. Why should public funds be deposited in a private account?
My kid-bro received a text message purportedly from @ntsa_kenya for overspending … As a dutiful citizen, he paid the fine to the account at @KCBInKenya given by NTSA .. The account is in the name of CATHERINE JERONO TOMNO …. The law doesn’t allow Government institutions to open bank accounts in the names of individuals. Is NTSA exempt?
Guys please @ntsa_kenya stop wasting everyone’s time (including yours) with this inspection thing. Cars are already inspected for insurance purposes every year. Just use that one. If there are additional parameters you want, specify them there. How many man hours will that save?
Also @ntsa_kenya every year our insurance makes us get our vehicles inspected and they have an even more vested interest in these vehicles being roadworthy.
What value is this second inspection adding?
The Government cannot reintroduce the Motor Vehicle Tax rejected in 2024 through the fee of Kshs 2,000.00 sought to be collected through the inspection of private vehicles. NTSA has permitted unroadworthy public transport vehicles to remain on roads. The Government has failed or refused to repair roads. The illegal taxation of private vehicles which is another way of stealing from Kenyans should be resisted.
It is below Standard to imagine, a woman who made her name at KTN could not advise her husband that witchdoctors cannot multiply his money, but now wants to advise the Standard about journalism Standards.
Kenyans online have started sharing videos in remembrance of those who were killed during the June 25, 2024 and June 25, 2025 protests, as they prepare to mark the anniversary tomorrow.
