Drivers and Conductors Set to Benefit from Driving Licence Exercise to Ease Transport Operators’ Burden

The exercise is expected to benefit hundreds of drivers and conductors by easing access to services that often require them to travel long distances to process or renew their driving licences.

Speaking to our Reporter this evening, Kizito Okao, Chief Executive Officer of the association and Regional Coordinator for Defensive Driving in Lango, urged drivers and conductors to take advantage of the opportunity by turning up in large numbers.

Okao said the initiative was intended to reduce the challenges transport operators face when accessing driving licence services while encouraging compliance with traffic regulations.

“We are bringing services closer to our people. This is a golden opportunity for every driver and conductor to regularise their documents without the usual hustle of travelling long distances,” Okao said.

He revealed that the association’s office is already open for early registration, urging interested applicants to register in advance to avoid last-minute congestion.

The exercise will cover several services, including processing of new driving licences, renewal of expired and lapsed licences, replacement of lost licences, extension of driving licence classes and other related services.

Okao, who also coordinates defensive driving activities in the Lango sub-region, emphasised that valid driving licences are essential for legal compliance, professionalism and road safety.

He cautioned drivers against operating vehicles without valid licences, warning that doing so could expose them to legal penalties and increase road safety risks.

The association has encouraged interested drivers and conductors to visit its office at the Amolatar taxi stage terminal near Uhuru Bar for further information, guidance and early registration.

They can also make inquiries through 0392153777.

The initiative is expected to save transport operators time and money while reducing their reliance on intermediaries when accessing licensing services.

The exercise is scheduled to commence on November 22, 2026, and applicants have been advised to carry all relevant documents and arrive early to facilitate the process.
