The National Transport and Safety Authority has officially named a new Director General. The authority appointed Nashon Kondiwa to lead the agency for three years.

Expectations for the New Director General
Industry observers anticipate policy consistency under the new administration. Furthermore, stakeholders expect stronger enforcement of safety regulations.
The authority continues to face pressure to reduce road accidents. Therefore, leadership efficiency remains critical.
Kondiwa’s three-year term offers a window for measurable reform. Officials believe his appointment reinforces operational confidence.
Ultimately, the transition signals renewed focus on transport governance. The agency aims to enhance safety and public trust nationwide.
