Digital taxi app, Little cab, has become the latest to comply with the government's regulations.
This comes days after drivers contracted by digital taxis withdrew their services over commission stand-off.
The National Transport and Safety Authority has already awarded the transport network licence certificate to Little.
The new NTSA rules require tax compliance certificates issued by the Kenya Revenue Authority, certificates of incorporation, policy and procedure for how clients can activate and deactivate.
NTSA had also published regulations to cap commissions charged by digital taxi operators in the country on drivers at 18 per cent per trip.
In a statement, the company said it had been given the nod by NTSA to continue operating following compliance.
“We have 100 per cent complied with the new regulations and we are the first ride-hailing app in Kenya to receive the certificate from NTSA,” the company said on Tuesday.
Initially, Little cab was charging a higher commission but it was still the lowest in the industry compared to other app companies.
“We have since reviewed it down to 18 per cent in compliance with the new laws,” Little cab said.
The company will ensure drivers on their platform earn a decent income to enable them to meet their daily livelihood.
In return, the drivers will enable Little cab to offer top-notch services with guaranteed comfort, convenience and reliability.
Little which began its operations five years ago, said it considers drivers on its platform as partners “in Little success”.
Since its inception, it has built its services with the welfare of drivers in mind resulting in tremendous loyalty.
Aware of risks such as insecurity and the high cost of living in the country, the company with similar operations in key cities across Africa such as Uganda, Tanzania, Ethiopia, and Senegal, has taken care of its drivers through SOS feature on the app.
Through partnerships with oil marketers such as Ola and Haas, drivers on the app also benefit from lucrative fuel discounts.
Mid this year, little announced a partnership with Britam offering insurance and investment products to help self-employed individuals to improve their financial welfare.
