Africa-Press<\/a> – Kenya<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Tuk tuk operators in Mombasa County are up in arms after the government headed by Hassan Joho abruptly introduced regulation fees.<\/p>\n

A report by Daily Nation on Sunday, June 13, indicated that the county government had introduced a regulation fee that would cost the operators an extra Ksh 1,000.<\/p>\n

This fee is in addition to the Parking fee of Ksh 1,200 charged on all the operators monthly.<\/p>\n

The drivers lamented that the county had made it mandatory for them to settle the regulation fee before they are allowed to pay their monthly parking fees.<\/p>\n

“We have complaints about how policies are being implemented. Over last week, the county inspectorate and other officials agreed in a meeting to add a Ksh 1,000 regulation fee also known as a security sticker.<\/p>\n

“What I do not fathom is why you are needed to have two photos, tuk-tuk logbook, KRA Pin, Identification Number and next of kin?\u201d questioned one user.<\/p>\n

The operators were seeking answers on where the fees they remit to the county government always end up, decrying poor infrastructure.<\/p>\n

“We need transparency in where the money we are paying will go. We are in a dilemma; how does the county expect us to operate when they keep shifting goalposts.<\/p>\n

“Even if it is a policy, we need public participation and need time as stakeholders before the issues are implemented,\u201d lamented Tofa Kahindi according to Nation.<\/p>\n

A representative from the county, however, noted that the regulation fee was aimed at reducing crime used by tuk tuks in the area.<\/p>\n

He revealed that plans were already underway to register all the county’s 20,000 tuk tuks to account for their actions in case of an incident.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have embarked on the use of security stickers to curb or reduce incidences of crime associated with the tuk-tuks. We will register all tuk-tuk operators and the owners for easy tracing of the tuk-tuks in case of an incident,\u201d explained Mombasa County operations and enforcement officer at the Inspectorate office Ibrahim Basafar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
