Mbunge Robert Mbui wa Kathiani anaanzisha Mswada wa Traffic (Amendment) 2026

Mbunge Robert Mbui wa Kathiani amewasilisha Mswada wa Traffic (Amendment) wa 2026 ambao unabadilisha jinsi polisi wanavyozuilia magari na pikipiki nchini Kenya. Mswada huu unalenga kutoa usawa kati ya utekelezaji sheria na ulinzi wa mali ya kibinafsi kwa kushughulikia malalamiko ya muda mrefu kutoka kwa wamiliki wa magari kuhusu kuzuiliwa kwa muda usio na sababu. Unaelekeza wakati na jinsi polisi wanaweza kuzuilia magari.

Mbunge Robert Mbui wa Kathiani amewasilisha Mswada wa Traffic (Amendment) wa 2026 katika Bunge la Kenya, ukilenga kurekebisha taratibu za polisi katika kuzuiliwa kwa magari na pikipiki.
Mswada huu unaruhusu kuzuiliwa kwa gari au pikipiki tu ikiwa ni moja kwa moja inahusishwa na kosa, kama ushahidi katika kesi au uchunguzi.
Hii inalenga kuzuia kuzuiliwa kwa muda usio na sababu.

Kwa madhumuni ya ushahidi, ikiwa picha au ripoti ya tathmini inatosha, gari halitaweza kuzuiliwa zaidi ya saa 48.
Kwa uchunguzi, kipindi cha juu ni siku 14.
Hii ina maana ya kuzuia kuzuiliwa kwa muda mrefu.

Afisa mkuu wa kituo cha polisi lazima ahakikishe uhifadhi bora wa gari lililozuiliwa, ili kuzuia uharibifu au wizi ambao umeripotiwa mara kwa mara wakati gari ziko mikononi mwa polisi.

Mswada hauathiri mamlaka ya mahakama chini ya kifungu 121 cha Kanuni za Taratibu za Jinai. "Nothing under this section affects the power of a Court to make an order under section 121 of the Criminal Procedure Code," mswada unasema.
"This Bill does not delegate legislative powers. However, the Bill does limit the right to property under Article 40 of the Constitution to the extent that a police officer may detain a vehicle or motorcycle for purposes of investigation,"

Ikiwapitishwa, sheria hii inaweza kuwapa faraja wakuu wa magari na pikipiki nchini Kenya.
