Welcome To Kenya Transport Association

The objective of this organization is to give transporters a forum within which they can air their grievances to various ministries within the Kenya Government.

Among the issues the organization has intervened against includes the introduction of parking fees by the Municipal Council for Shimanzi area of Mombasa, parking fees at Mariakani, licence fees for trailers in 1970-71 and the ban on night driving in 1969 and 1980.

KTA'S EFFORTS ON THE ISSUE OF PARKING FEES:

June 2010 KTA takes the matter to court.

May 2010 2 companies mandated by the Municipal of Mombasa to collect parking fees insist on collecting levies from transporters forcing transporters to pay twice.

21st April 2010 KTA and the Municipal come to an Agreement that stipulates reduced parking levies for those without parking yards.

19th - 21st April 2010 Transporters down their tools and choose not to load until such a time that the grievances are addressed.

12th February 2010 Municipal of Mombasa puts up Gazette notice No. 1594 on Parking fees that requires transporters to pay KES: 1,000 per day for parking at Municipal yards. The Municipal then goes ahead and appoints a private company to manage the levy collection.
