Kamwaro served as TLB boss under former president Mwai Kibaki, it was during that time that all public service vehicles were fitted with speed governors and safety belts amid protests from the stakeholders. He worked with the former transport minister John Michuki and the duo was credited with bringing sanity to the transport industry especially in the matatu sector.
