The National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) director for road safety has handed in her resignation letter.
According to a highly placed source, Njeri Waithaka handed in her resignation letter to the board a few days ago.
In the letter, Njeri cited “personal reasons” for not be seeking the extension of her term.
She took over as the safety boss from Mathew Munyao whose contract was terminated in January 2016.
NTSA director-general Francis Meja confirmed that she had quit the agency.
“I’m aware of Ms Waithaka’s case. She has handed in her resignation letter.
“As to when exactly she is expected to leave the agency plus other restructuring plans we may have are private information within our organisation I may not be able to disclose to you at the moment,” Meja told Business Daily on phone.
Her resignation comes weeks after the Anti-Terror Police Unit (ATPU) raided NTSA’s headquarters, arresting scores of the agency’s employees in a probe over the registration of a vehicle used by terrorists during the 14 Riverside Drive attack.
Those apprehended included senior managers working in the licensing, information technology, inspection and the registration of motor vehicles departments.
The raid was conducted on January 30.
