RTSA Head of Public Relations Fredrick Mubanga tells QTV News that all motorists and Public Service Vehicle Operators have been given an extension of up to 14^th January, 2017 to pay for the required licenses.

Mr. Mubanga says there will be no enforcement of the validity of said documents until the stated grace period has expired.
