According to the Director General, Mr. Francis Meja, some of the logbooks have been lying on the shelves for more than seven months.

“Applicants should move with speed and pick their documents,” said Meja.

Meja further indicated that the Authority has made efforts to contact the individuals via SMS and through the person’s TIMS account but the customers have allegedly ignoring all their communication.

“We might introduce a fee for delay in picking of logbooks,” posed Meja.

He also revealed that most of the Authority’s services have gone online thus making easier it for the public to access them.
