The National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) has issued official notices on social media to clarify the workings of its new instant fines system and to remind the public about legitimate communication channels. The notices aim to help Kenyans discern between true and false information regarding the system and provide guidance on avoiding scams, particularly in relation to payments through eCitizen and KCB.

A motorist who paid a KSh 10,000 speeding fine through the NTSA's official channel discovered that the payment was deposited into a KCB account under a private individual's name. This incident, highlighted by lawyer Donald Kipkorir, has reignited concerns regarding the payment structure used by the NTSA, which a Nairobi court had previously questioned.

Lawyer Ndegwa Njiru, an ally of former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, plans to sue the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) over alleged fraud in the instant traffic fine payment system. He has called on motorists to provide proof of payments made for overspeeding fines via the eCitizen platform to support his case. Njiru has previously represented Gachagua in various legal matters, including a challenge to his impeachment.

A Senate committee has revealed the origins of the National Transport and Safety Authority's (NTSA) annual vehicle inspection program. According to the report, the inspections are mandated by the Traffic (Motor Vehicle Inspection) Rules, 2026, established under Legal Notice No. 13 of 2026, which provides the legal framework for the inspections.

The High Court has intervened to halt the National Transport and Safety Authority's (NTSA) directive requiring annual inspections for private, non-commercial vehicles. Justice Francis Kyambia issued conservatory orders suspending the enforcement of the Traffic (Motor Vehicle Inspection) Rules after a legal challenge was raised against the new mandate. This decision provides temporary relief to millions of private car owners, according to Nairobi Wire.
