NTSA - New driving license a big joke
Listers, I was just checking on twitter the requirements for the new generation driving license by NTSA and i must admit that it is a big joke and a scam. For starters, the requirement that one deposits KES 3150 is a big joke knowing that this is almost half the salary of workers upcountry (forget those driving around in government or company owned guzzlers who pay for everything from office petty cash) In any case, an ATM card with similar features as the new driving license is free in local banks, can NTSA clarify what the public is paying for? With digitization, why does it take two weeks to obtain this new driving license?, arent this avenues for promoting corruption? #ifikieNTSA Wacha tubaki analog -- Barrack O.

I saw it mentioned that the Digital DL will be valid for 3 years. How does one renew it after the expiry? You get a new one at a cost of 3000 or you pay the usual fee and they programme the new expiry dates on the chip? For now, I would say that the only bad side is that of forcing everyone to pay for 3 years, but again that could be the new govt policy on this - which is both good and bad. Good because it will reduce the human flow to those offices to just once in 3 years; bad because the staff will be mostly idle, but still being paid :-) You need a leaner staff for this department. The govt is silent on RENEWAL process and that is what I suppose should come clear. Meanwhile, NTSA is still silent on the NewGEN number plates. #CorruptionKE -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254 7 3200 0004/+254 7 2274 3223 "Oh, the cruft."
