I saw it mentioned that the Digital  DL will be valid for 3 years. How does
one renew it after the expiry? You get a new one at a cost of 3000 or you
pay the usual fee and they programme the new expiry dates on the chip?
For now, I would say that the only bad side is that of forcing everyone to
pay for 3 years, but again that could be the new govt policy on this -
which is both good and bad. Good because it will reduce the human flow to
those offices to just once in 3 years; bad because the staff will be mostly
idle, but still being paid :-)
You need a leaner staff for this department.
The govt is silent on RENEWAL process and that is what I suppose should
come clear.

Meanwhile, NTSA is still silent on the NewGEN number plates. #CorruptionKE
