A Nairobi advocate has moved to the High Court seeking urgent orders to suspend the implementation of the National Transport and Safety Authority's (NTSA) new Motor Vehicle Inspection Rules, just days before they are scheduled to take effect on July 1.
In a constitutional petition filed under certificate of urgency, advocate Charles Mugane argues that the Traffic (Motor Vehicle Inspection) Rules, 2026, published through Legal Notice No. 13 of 2026, were enacted in violation of the Constitution and should be declared null and void.
The lawyer wants the court to halt the rollout of the punitive rules, arguing they were introduced without public participation and would subject motorists to unconstitutional fees and penalties.
Mugane has sued NTSA and the Attorney General, while naming the Law Society of Kenya, Katiba Institute and the Kenya Human Rights Commission as interested parties.
