Hope this happens. Our licenses are crap. The ki-thing cannot fit into a wallet. Nkt

The number plates are even worse. Some are usually printed kombo and really look awful. Even South Sudan has nicer number plates

What do you expect when they use unskilled cheap labour in Kingongi, kodiaga, Kamiti, Shimo...etc.


This is good news and hope it works.

In some countries, they allow use of foreign driving licences for those who are not nationals of the host country.

It's very humiliating to take out the ugly Kenyan DL and show it to a traffic officer. That thing is so ugly, one mzungu loudly wondered what country was so backward as to use this type of licences. Thankfully, I got a new licence...same size as a credit card. Only use the Kenyan licence when I'm back home.

As for the number plates, the less said the better.

I support this initiative by the transport ministry.

Good step but in the wrong direction!

There is nothing wrong with the existing driver's license apart from the bulkiness!

The problem is in the process of acquiring one. There are no guidelines of what drivers must be taught before appearing for a test. The test itself is a sham - 30seconds driving for 20m and the incompetent examiner certifies the equally incompetent learner!

We need to re-engineer the the driver training and testing policy first, then and only then should we start thinking about re-designing the license.
Nothing is real unless it can be named; nothing has value unless it can be sold; money is worthless unless you spend it.

true...but it's about time.

@Bigchick, you are right re unskilled. Other countries also use prisoners to make plates but clearly they have skills.
