Joseph Priscus is the national secretary of the Tanzania Bus Owners Association (Taboa), advocating for reforms in the country’s transport laws. He has been vocal about the legal burdens placed on bus owners, emphasizing the need for a clear distinction between passenger responsibilities and those of transport operators. Priscus argues that current laws unfairly penalize bus owners for illegal items brought aboard by passengers, a situation he describes as unjust, and he calls for collaborative efforts with the government to amend these regulations to support the transport sector.
