The exercise is in line with Section 24 of the Traffic Act Cap 403, which grants NTSA the mandate of motor vehicle and motorcycle dealers.
Through the exercise, NTSA seeks to enhance compliance with traffic laws and regulations. Last month, the Authority suspended at least 121 Public Service Vehicles (PSVs) for defying the laws.
The order saw buses from the affected saccos impounded, with the public warned against boarding them.
These saccos included Kinatwa Prestige Limited, Overseas Courier Resort Limited, Pelican Sacco Limited, Crown Bus Limited, Periska Transport Sacco Ltd, Quickbus Tablet Ltd, and Prestige Comfort Co. Ltd.
"Members of the Public are hereby advised not to board vehicles belonging to the suspended saccos/companies. The Traffic Department has been advised to impound any vehicles to the 121 Saccos found operating contrary to the suspension," the notice read in part.
