Today as the PS Transport meets stakeholders in the transport sector, Kenyans are urging them to address all the issues that are causing more than harm on our roads.
Today, the P.S. Transport meets with Stakeholders in the Transport Sector: as Government, our partnership with our Private Sector is important, and so we are here to listen to the challenges and come up with feasible solutions: immediate and long term
