Transport Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen has defended his visit to the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) headquarters on Friday last week.
In a statement via his X account on Monday, September 25, Murkomen explained that he has been patient with NTSA but he had to take matters into his own hands to fasten processes at the institution.
"Everything will be sorted in the next two weeks. I have been patient with the institution but I had to press the reset button. Your friend Ahmednasir is not very happy with that approach but I had to do it. I hope the move will restore sanity. It’s not my wish to micromanage but rebooting the system is my job," said Murkomen.
The Transport CS was responding to Mohamed Wehliye after he expressed his displeasure about the services at NTSA.

Wehliye said he was asked by NTSA to get his biometrics captured again despite having undergone a similar procedure.
Murkomen’s statement comes after Senior Counsel Ahmednasir Abullahi slammed CSs for visiting offices under their dockets to ensure service delivery.
He observed that the CSs were overstepping their mandate adding that each government docket had a hierarchy through which crucial roles were undertaken.
"When you have two senior Cabinet Secretaries storming offices and workstations of clerks in their ministries and addressing mundane issues of driver's licences, logbooks, police clearance certificates, passports etc...issues routinely handled by entry-level clerks in the ministries, then you sadly realize that the system is broken and Kenya is not delivering for the common man/woman," noted Ahmednasir.
