The National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) has suspended the licences of 62 public service vehicle (PSV) drivers from seven transport companies after a compliance review exposed multiple safety breaches
In a statement issued on Tuesday, December 9, the Authority said the affected drivers must undergo mandatory retesting before their licences can be reinstated
“This action follows a compliance assessment that revealed multiple violations and serious safety concerns,” NTSA noted
Beyond the retesting, the Authority has also directed the implicated operators to conduct road safety awareness training for all their drivers and present selected vehicles for inspection
“The driver re-testing exercise is part of broader proactive measures aimed at ensuring every driver possesses the requisite skills and competencies to safely operate on our roads,” the statement added
