The National Transport and Safety Authority has begun a crackdown on motorist driving around with expired foreign plate permits. “Foreign permits are only valid for 90 days from the date of issue. The permits, normally issued by NTSA, include the foreign private vehicle permit and the foreign commercial, public service or trailer permit. Both permits cost between Sh2167.83 and Sh10427.02 for a period of seven days and three months respectively. In August 2016, the taxman impounded over 30 vehicles with expired foreign plate permits, with most coming from neighbouring Uganda and Tanzania.
