The awards will focus on compliance to traffic rules, best managed PSV operator and least accident record.
Auto dealer Isuzu East Africa has launched an award for matatu operators in Nairobi who have highest levels of compliance to National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) regulations.
The inaugural Isuzu PSV Awards will also consider the best managed PSV operator, crew with best driving skills and least accident records.
Isuzu EA managing director Rita Kavashe said the overall best managed sacco will be awarded with a Sh5 million Isuzu 33-seater bus.
“Statistics released by NTSA show that nearly 3,000 people are killed on the Kenyan roads annually. Most of these fatalities result from reckless driving rather than mechanical failure. As the leading passenger transport supplier and a key stakeholder in the PSV industry, Isuzu EA is keen to promote safe driving on our roads,” she said.
The company has partnered with Think Business Limited to establish the assessment and judging criteria for the awards with support from the NTSA.
Nairobi-based PSV operators with high capacity buses have been invited to make submissions for the awards whose assessment program kicks off in December. The gala Awards are scheduled for June 2018.
