In July 2016, the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) suspended Transline Matatu Sacco's licence after an accident on the Narok-Mai Mahiu road. The accident claimed nine lives when the matatu burst into flames after ramming into a lorry. On investigation, it was discovered that the PSV did not have a permit for night operations. A couple of days later, it was reported that the Authority had lifted the suspension against the Sacco.
Late last month, NTSA deregistered Ongata Line Sacco after the accident that claimed four lives and seriously injured other passengers on September 25, citing serious violations of the National Transport and Safety Act of 2014.
