Shirika la Wabebaji Kenya linaomba Ruto kuhusu ada ya maegesho ya Ksh4,000 Nairobi

Shirika la Wabebaji Kenya (KTA) limemwandikia barua Rais William Ruto kukiuka na kutoa malalamiko kuhusu ada ya maegesho ya Ksh4,000 ya Kaunti ya Nairobi. Wanadai ada hiyo inachukua asilimia 16 ya mapato ya lori moja kwa siku. Wanapendekeza ada ya Ksh800 ili kuboresha utii na kupunguza ufisadi.

Shirika la Wabebaji Kenya (KTA) limewasilisha ombi rasmi kwa Rais William Ruto, Gavana wa Nairobi Johnson Sakaja, Seneta wa Kaunti ya Nairobi Edwin Sifuna na Spika wa Bunge la Kaunti Kennedy Okeyo kuhusu ada ya maegesho ya Ksh4,000 kwa lori moja kwa siku huko Nairobi.

Kulingana na KTA, lori linalofanya usafirishaji ndani ya Nairobi linapata takriban Ksh25,000 kwa safari moja kwa siku. "Ada ya maegesho ya Ksh4,000 inachukua asilimia 16 ya mapato ghafi, kabla ya kutoa gharama za mafuta, mishahara, matengenezo, bima na madeni," walisema KTA.

Wanasema ada hiyo inawafanya wabebaji kuchagua kati ya kuishi na ufisadi, kwani badala ya kulipa rasmi, wanalipa rushwa ya Ksh1,000 kwa maafisa ambao haisikii hazina za kaunti. Pia, wanaalalamika kuhusu mitandao ya kigaidi inayodhibiti ada za maegesho, ikiharibu mapato ya kaunti.

KTA inalinganisha na kaunti zingine: Kiambu Ksh400, Mombasa Ksh700, Eldoret na Nakuru Ksh500 kila moja, na Bungoma Ksh300. Wanapendekeza Ksh800 ili kuongeza utii, kupunguza rushwa na kufanya Nairobi kuwa kituo chenye ushindani cha kibiashara. Wanajitolea kushirikiana na kaunti.

Ruto endorses NCAJ recommendations for road safety

Imeripotiwa na AI Picha iliyoundwa na AI

President William Ruto has received and endorsed recommendations from the National Council on the Administration of Justice (NCAJ) to improve road safety in Kenya. The recommendations include mandatory defensive driving certification for public service vehicle (PSV) operators and the rollout of decentralised vehicle inspections through a public-private partnership starting July 1. He also ordered the installation of smart traffic cameras and an instant fines system in major cities within one month.

The Kenya Transporters Association (KTA) has called for the immediate rollout of an on-the-spot traffic fine system payable through mobile money platforms, aiming to eliminate the conventional court-based enforcement that it describes as costly and inefficient. The group argues this would ease court backlogs and boost road safety. The proposal arrives as the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) prepares to launch instant fines amid Kenya's push toward digitized services.
