Wilberforce Akello’s constitutional petition argues that the Traffic (Motor Vehicle Inspection) Rules, 2026 and NTSA’s notice of 26th June were rolled out without a Regulatory Impact Statement, without meaningful public participation and without timely tabling before Parliament, contrary to the Statutory Instruments Act and Articles 10 and 118 of the Constitution. He also challenges the blanket age‑based inspection rule as irrational and disproportionately punitive to lower‑income motorists who own older cars, turning economic status into a proxy for regulatory burden. Substantively, the case attacks four pillars of the regime. The compulsory annual inspection for vehicles over four years old (Rule 3/“Rule 31”), the power to de‑register “Category A” salvage vehicles without notice, hearing or compensation (Rule 12/“Rule 122”), the vague offence of “any act intended to circumvent” the Rules (Rule 30(1)(d)), and the booking fees payable to NTSA which are projected to raise billions but are not tied to any disclosed costed service or public‑finance framework as required under Articles 201, 206 and 210. Crucially, the Court has issued conservatory orders suspending the operation and enforcement of the impugned provisions and the NTSA notice of 26th June, to the extent they affect private non‑commercial vehicles, until June 2027, when the application will be heard inter partes. That means, for now, private car owners cannot be compelled to undergo the new annual inspections or pay the contested booking fees on the strength of the challenged Rules, even as enforcement continues for PSVs, commercial vehicles and school transport under the existing legal framework. Beyond motorists’ immediate relief, this dispute is a major stress‑test of delegated legislation and administrative power in Kenya. It asks whether Executive agencies can effectively create mass-revenue-raising, criminally‑enforced obligations through subsidiary legislation and shifting press statements, or whether they must submit to the full rigour of constitutional public‑participation, reasonableness, and public‑finance safeguards before loading billions of shillings and penal risk onto citizens.
