Hundreds of Super Metro vehicles have lined up for urgent inspections after the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) revoked the fleet’s operating license over non-compliance with transport regulations.
The inspection process, which began early this morning, involves 294 vehicles and focuses on key areas such as bodywork, speed limiters, lighting systems, safety belts, and tyre condition.
Following the NTSA ban, Super Metro Sacco swiftly filed an appeal with the Transport Licensing Appeals Board in Nairobi, challenging the decision and terming it arbitrary and unjust.
The Sacco argued that it had invested heavily in meeting regulatory standards and warned that NTSA’s suspension would cripple its operations and negatively impact thousands of livelihoods.
In its appeal, Super Metro claimed that the suspension was based on conjecture and insufficiently investigated facts, insisting that it was committed to compliance.
