The National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) has listed matatu operator 2NK at the top of a list of long distance matatus that tamper with speed limiting gadgets.
Narok Line and Neno Sacco were the second and third highest speed violators respectively according to data recorded by companies that manage tracking systems for long distance public service vehicles (PSVs).
The 2NK Sacco which was formed in Nyeri 15 years ago offers daily trips to between Nairobi and other major towns among them Nyeri, Karatina, Nakuru, Eldoret, Nanyuki and Thika.
“What we will be doing is to call the saccos very soon, the management to explain their position because we will not wait until there is an accident for us to ban a sacco,” said the NTSA chairman Lee Kinyanjui said.
