According to Chief Commanding Traffic Officer Ramadhani Ng'anzi, the suspended driving schools were given three months to evaluate themselves, but still fell short of meeting the required standards.
"We undertook a thorough inspection of the driving schools and only 106 received a clean bill of health," he disclosed. "The root of the problem stemmed from the syllabus offered at the driving schools and lack of simulator machines at such learning facilities," he said. Earlier on, the Director of Future World Driving School, Robert Mkolla noted with concern as to why many people were desperate to get behind wheels, a move that has seen driving licences issued to those who aren't qualified drivers.
