Kenyans were urged to apply for jobs at the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) after it declared 18 vacancies cutting across the board.

Other positions include the Director of Motor Vehicle Inspection and Safety Audits, the Director of Registration Licensing, and managers in the ICT, HR, Registration and Safety Audit departments.

Those interested in serving as Principals can join the Records, Audit Systems, Road Safety and Legal departments.

The authority further announced that it sought individuals to fill four vacancies in the Engineer II Road Safety position and two slots in the Security Officer position.

NTSA's notice came a day after the authority launched a countrywide Road Safety Clinic to curb the spike in accidents.

In the operation, which kicked off in the wee hours of Monday morning, May 8, officers drawn from multiple agencies mounted roadblocks demanding official documents for scrutiny and authentification.

Among them were the National Identification cards for drivers and conductors and their valid licenses.

"The crew is required to produce a speed limiter certificate for the specific vehicle they are operating in," NTSA further clarified.

CS Kipchumba Murkomen Change of Board

To enhance NTSA service delivery, Transport CS Kipchumba Murkomen appointed six new boards of directors via a Gazette Notice in February 2023.

The new board of directors were Nimo Omar Haji, Carol Oduor, Richard Munya, Simon Kalekem, Ephraim Karimi Macharia and Charles Nyabuti. The six NTSA boards of directors will serve for three years.

In the same notice, the CS revoked the appointment of Catherine Njeri Waweru, Alice Chepchumba Chesire, Francis Kiriinya Mwongo, Meshak Kidenda, Mithamo Muchiri and Wilfred Okemwa.

How to Apply for the Latest Jobs.

NTSA advised interested candidates to apply in confidence indicating the Job Ref. No. on both the application and envelope enclosing CV with full details of educational background and professional qualifications. 

The application should also have copies of certificates, relevant testimonials and the National ID. Applications may be deposited at the Authority’s Head Office Reception.

Applicants should address the envelope to the Director General of the National Transport and Safety Authority headquartered in Upper Hill.
