Uhuru orders digital driving licence use by June next year

President Uhuru Kenyatta has directed the introduction of digital driving licenses by mid next year to curb corruption and boost road safety.
Mr Kenyatta said the ease of monitoring motorists’ driving history through the digital licences will help curb accidents and improve the enforcement of traffic laws.

“We plan to launch digital driving licences by mid next year. The Transport Cabinet Secretary must ensure this is effected within the stated timeframe,” said the President in a speech read on his behalf by the Transport Secretary James Macharia.
