Officials at key motor vehicle inspection centres run by the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) have obsolete equipment and cannot effectively do their job, an audit has revealed, raising concerns about the safety of passengers on the country’s roads.
Though inspection of motor vehicles is one of NTSA's core functions, an audit now reveals that equipment in at least 10 of its centres across the country is “no longer useful” and is forcing its officers to undertake manual inspections.
