By JAMES KARIUKIMore by this AuthorDrivers of vehicles with expired foreign registration permits face prosecution as the government moves to tighten the noose on tax cheats. The National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) said motorists caught with expired permits will be arrested on the spot. “Foreign permits are only valid for 90 days from the date of issue and anyone with expired permits are required to regularise them with the KRA Customs Department at the point of entry),” said NTSA in a public announcement. According to KRA, vehicles with less than 2,000cc engine capacity pay Sh2,000 for a one-month permit and Sh5,000 for a three-month licence. To get a licence, one is required to submit an application to a customs officer at the point of entry together with a foreign vehicle registration book.
