How to renew your driving license online

One of the most important documents any motorist in transit is required to have worldwide is a driving license.  In Kenya, police stop hundreds of motorists every day and ask for the driving license. For motorists who haven’t carried their licenses, hefty fines are incurred and sometimes might end in court.  However, most motorists forget to check the expiry dates for the driving licenses. If it so happens that your license has expired, the police will still fine you. Renewing licenses was hectic in the past. Motorists would have to queue for long at the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) to either get their licenses or for renewal purposes.  The good news is; you can now renew your driving license from the comfort of your location as long as you can access the internet.  The National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) has made it easy for motorists to renew their licenses online, and the process will take you about 10 minutes.  Here’s how to ren...

How firms are stamping out fake goods with high tech labels

Every working hour, about 80,000 bottles of beer are processed through the East African Breweries Ltd (EABL)   production line at the Ruaraka factory. An almost equal number of cans is processed on a parallel line. However, not even one of the bottles or cans can leave the factory before it has been affixed with the Kenya Revenue Authority’s excise duty and the Kenya Bureau of Standard stamps. Each of the two security stamps tells a story; one says that the brewer has paid excise tax while the other assures consumers that the quality of the product has been tested and certified as fit for human consumption. One has an implication on public good while the other has direct import on public health and safety. These twin messages are at the very heart of every security stamp affixed on any product made or sold in Kenya. The stamps, just like the security marks affixed on identity cards, passports, title deeds and other important documents as well as products meant...
