“Trans Nzoia County, particularly Kitale Town, is located strategically near the Kenya-Uganda border points. The crackdown was targeting the holders of fake documents,” NTSA coordinator in Trans Nzoia County Cyprian Michieka said. NTSA says the issuance of number plates remains one of its key responsibilities, and that those making fake registration plates would be fished out and subjected to the law. In November 2018, authorities raised the alarm on the influx of fake number plates in the country, saying criminals were using the illegal registrations to disguise. This comes even as officers of the safety regulator, NTSA, are being spotlighted for allegedly colluding with criminals to dish out fake number plates.
