Mombasa Governor Abdulswamad Nassir has announced the launch of smart CCTV cameras to enforce parking and other county laws. The system, funded entirely by county resources, will identify offenders in real time and track repeat violations.
The County Government of Mombasa has launched a new digital surveillance system to tighten parking rules and improve compliance with county laws. Speaking at the Regional Highway Safety Investors Conference 2026, Governor Abdulswamad Nassir said smart CCTV cameras have been installed across several parts of the city, with the first phase nearing completion.
"The county government invested and put up smart CCTVs across Mombasa using our own resources. As we speak right now, we have already installed, and we are in the process of finalising," he said.
These cameras will help nab those not paying parking fees and breaking other laws. Nassir added that the county is looking to partner with stakeholders to enhance the system's capacity, including number plate and facial recognition. The advanced system will identify offenders in real time, track behavioural patterns, and build profiles of repeat violators.
The governor emphasised that data protection is integral, assuring that privacy considerations are built into the implementation. The county will work with the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) for the rollout, mirroring NTSA's instant fines system.
