E-hailing operators get five-month moratorium

The government granted e-hailing operators a five-month moratorium on new regulatory enforcement, allowing time to draft a framework for ride-hailing services. The suspension applies to companies like InDrive and Bolt as well as individual drivers operating under these platforms. Officials praised the services for providing affordable, dignified, and convenient transport options in urban areas. The moratorium follows rapid expansion of the e-hailing sector, which has grown to serve thousands of passengers daily across major cities. Authorities will engage industry representatives during the moratorium to develop comprehensive regulations that bring order to the industry while maintaining affordability and accessibility for passengers.
