The National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) is on the spot over the slow uptake of smart driving licences (DLs), with 572,674 cards worth Sh176 million remaining unprinted years after delivery, risking loss of taxpayer funds.
Auditor-General Nancy Gathungu has revealed that as of June 2024, NTSA had only printed 1,637,930 smart DLs, despite the National Bank of Kenya (NBK), which was contracted to supply the cards, having delivered more than 4 million.
