Ruto ordena revisão das leis de seguros e leilões

O presidente William Ruto determinou uma revisão imediata das leis de seguros e leilões do Quênia após reclamações de operadores de matatus sobre seguradoras que não cobrem sinistros de acidentes.

O presidente William Ruto ordenou a revisão da Lei de Seguros (Cap 487) e da Lei de Leiloeiros (Cap 526) em 22 de maio de 2026. Ele afirmou que os operadores de transporte muitas vezes acabam pagando as contas de acidentes por conta própria, apesar de possuírem cobertura de seguro.

Ruto orientou o Ministério dos Transportes a trabalhar com a Autoridade Reguladora de Seguros na questão. A revisão visa melhorar o processamento de sinistros e coibir a retomada agressiva de veículos por cobradores de dívidas.

Petições parlamentares observaram que pelo menos 4.000 veículos de serviço público na região de Lower Eastern enfrentaram processos judiciais após a inadimplência das seguradoras. A Associação de Seguradoras do Quênia estima que pedidos de indenização fraudulentos drenam mais de Ksh3,2 bilhões das seguradoras anualmente.
