Court petitions challenge NTSA’s mandatory private vehicle inspection rules

Three separate court cases have been filed challenging the new NTSA regulations introducing mandatory inspection of private vehicles. The petitions, filed by rights lobby Sheria Mtaani and advocate Charles Mugane, argue that the rules were enacted without adequate public participation. They also claim the regulations will impose an additional financial burden on motorists. In a separate petition, the Law Society of Kenya argues that the government failed to adequately involve the public in developing the regulations.
