NEW regulations guiding the implementation of President Uhuru Kenyatta’s directive on graffiti on public service vehicles have been released.

Last year, Uhuru directed the NTSA to lift the ban on graffiti and artwork on matatus to allow the youth to use their talent to earn a living.

Uhuru issued the directive during NTSA Roads Safety Week launch in Nairobi.

The authority, in a statement, warned against use of “offensive gestures, wordings, symbols, pictures or signs”.

NTSA chairman Lee Kinyanjui said the authority will undertake routine check to ensure the new regulations are adhered to.
