Transport committee Nairobi County assembly has launched an investigation into cartel ring alleged to be using top officials at the National Transport and Safety Authority NTSA to frustrate other saccos in Matatu business in Nairobi.
Those who are under probe are NTSA Head of Licensing Hared Hassan and Matatu Operators Chairman Jimal Ibrahim.
Hared who appeared before the committee with half-baked information and was sent away and ordered to appear again with director general NTSA and head of  legal department.
Making the ruling sitting chair Kennedy Obuya ordered Hared to appear with his team on Wednesday and with full information.
‘‘Matters raised in this committee are weighty and from the look of things you do not have sufficient information that will help this committee ,so you come back on Tuesday with necessary departmental heads so that we do not here these excuses again,’’ Obuya said.
When he was put to task by Minority whip Peter Imwatok to explain, he deregsiter Akila Sacco of South C Hared fambled and at some point invoked the name of legal head to be the one who gave the advisory.
Many sacco officials mainly from Eastleigh and South C have accused Jimal Ibrahim of using NTSA officials to deregister their saccos and registering them again with other names in favour of Jimal as director.
Those who submitted their complaints to the committee include Abdifatah Hussein, Roy Kula, Simon Katiwa and Julius Katiwa both claiming to have been humiliated by Jimal.
