Modern Coast Express Limited has said it will continue ferrying passengers from Nairobi to Kampala, Kigali, and Bujumbura routes despite state directive to suspend its Operating License.
The Transport and Public Works Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkommen on Friday, December 30, 2022, ordered the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) to effect the ban after a bus in the company’s fleet was involved in another accident in Uganda killing six people.
Moreover, the Modern Coast bus also killed one person while reversing at Makutano Junction along Kisii – Nyamira Road after its driver failed to control the vehicle thereby hitting a stationary vehicle owned by another Sacco.
