Title: Motorcycle taxi drivers in Kasaï Oriental have 15 days to obtain the new license plate
Introduction :
As part of the fight against the phenomenon of kidnapping and for better identification of vehicles in circulation, the provincial commissioner of the Congolese National Police has set a deadline of 15 days for motorcycle taxi drivers in Kasaï Oriental to obtain the new numberplate. This decision, taken in agreement with the motorcycle taxi driver associations and the transport service, aims to strengthen security in the region.
The problem of kidnapping in Kasai Oriental:
The region of Mbuji-Mayi, capital of Kasaï Oriental, has been confronted with an intensification of the phenomenon of kidnapping in recent months. This scourge, which mainly targets young people, has become a major concern for the population. Faced with this alarming situation, local authorities have decided to take measures to combat this crime.
The use of motorcycle taxis in the region:
Motorcycle taxis have become the main means of public transport used in the town of Mbuji-Mayi and its surroundings. Due to the impassability of the roads, most buses and taxi-buses have disappeared from circulation. Motorcycle taxis therefore offer a quick and accessible alternative for getting around the region. However, this popularity has also attracted the attention of criminals, who often use these devices to commit wrongdoing.
The new license plate:
In order to strengthen safety and better identify motorcycle taxis in circulation, drivers of these machines are now required to obtain the new registration plate from the TSC company. This measure will allow authorities to better control motorcycles and facilitate investigations in the event of problems.
A period of 15 days:
To allow drivers to comply with these new regulations, the provincial commissioner of the Congolese National Police granted a delay of 15 days. This will give drivers the time they need to get to TSC and get their new license plate. After this period, any motorcycle taxi circulating without the new plate will be subject to sanctions.
Conclusion :
The decision to put in place a new license plate for motorcycle taxis in Kasai Oriental aims to strengthen security in the region. By forcing drivers to comply with this new regulation, the authorities hope to fight more effectively against the phenomenon of kidnapping and improve the identification of vehicles in circulation. It is now essential for drivers to go to TSC within 15 days to obtain the new license plate.
