The Transport Licensing Appeals Board has extended orders that lifted the suspension of the operating licence issued by the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) to Super Metro matatu Sacco.

This is after NTSA asked for more time to file their responses.

The transport appeals board chairman Adrian Kamotho allowed the application and directed that the matter be mentioned on 7th April

NTSA suspended Super Metro Limited's operating license on March 20 for alleged multiple violations of Public Service Vehicle (PSV) regulations.

NTSA said that the decision aimed to ensure road safety and regulatory compliance.

However, Super Metro Limited moved to the tribunal and challenged the orders terming the suspension arbitrary and unjust.

The PSV sacco argues that there are no legitimate reasons to revoke their licence adding that they have complied with all the relevant laws.

Super Metro argued that it had invested heavily in aligning its operations with regulatory requirements and claimed that NTSA’s suspension would cripple its operations and harm thousands of livelihoods.
