The National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) has issued tough guidelines on motor vehicle inspection as it moves to tame perennial road carnage.
Under the new regulations, all private vehicles that are more than four years old will be inspected after every two years.
“All commercial vehicles, public service vehicles, driving school vehicles and school buses shall undergo a preregistration inspection before registration and an annual periodic vehicle inspection thereafter,” the regulations read in part.

The rules also require all salvage vehicles to be inspected after repairs and an annual periodic inspection thereafter

Revenue expansion… Really tumefika hapa?

What statistics are they using to show that lack of inspection is what is causing accidents?

Wajinga sana ata wakitaka they can inspect every week, hatutishiki. mafala sana

10

Most road accidents are due to bad roads and drivers. This is just another eating nuissance

11

Doesn’t this have to be passed by parliament?
Also does NTSA even have the capacity to inspect all cars in the country?Labda they outsource.

12

What is the cost of inspection?

13

NOPE! this is what is called DELEGATED LEGISLATION:- where parliament [through its Acts] delegates, in a limited manner, it’s law-making role to an individual or boards and all.

That is how things like the Michuki Rules, for example, came about.

This inspection must involve emissions tests. The smoke coming from half the vehicles is dangerous for you.

Assuming that all the vehicle owners got for inspection and going by the statistics of the Kenya National Bureau of Standards( https://www.knbs.or.ke/download/registered-vehicles-2008-2012/ ) that put the number of vehicles at 1,789,789 in the year 2012, and an average fee rate of Ksh 3,166.67, NTSA is looking at picking up an estimated minimum of Ksh 5.67 billion every two years.

Sorry, but you’re completely misguided.

Delegated legislation has to be passed through Parliament’s delegated legislation committee.

The Statutory Instruments Act reads as follows-
11. Laying of statutory instruments before Parliament
U Every Cabinet Secretary responsible for a regulation-making authority shall within seven (7) sitting days after the publication of a statutory instrument, ensure that a copy of the statutory instrument is transmitted to the responsible Clerk for tabling before Parliament.[/U]
(2) An explanatory memorandum in the manner prescribed in the Schedule shall be attached to any statutory instrument laid or tabled under subsection (1).
(3) The responsible Clerk shall register or cause to be registered every statutory instrument transmitted to the respective House for tabling or laying under this Part.
U If a copy of a statutory instrument that is required to be laid before Parliament is not so laid in accordance with this section, the statutory instrument shall cease to have effect immediately after the last day for it to be so laid but without prejudice to any act done under the statutory instrument before it became void.[/U]

Pickups and lorries are inspected every year. How effective has that been? Hiyo nugu inaitwa Meja is functionally illiterate.

I know that delegted legislation must be presented to parliament. I understood his question to mean whether those proposals must be enacted by parliament…first reading second reading, nini nini.

Delegated legislation is presented to parliament for approval.
