Sheria Mtaani inakataa kuondoa kesi ya faini za papo hapo za NTSA licha ya kusimamishwa

Kikundi cha Sheria Mtaani kimeamua kutoiisha ombi lake mahakamani dhidi ya mfumo wa faini za papo hapo wa NTSA hata baada ya mamlaka hiyo kusimamisha programu hiyo. Wakili Danstan Omari alisema NTSA bado haijashughulikia changamoto kuu ya kisheria katika utekelezaji wake.

Sheria Mtaani, kikundi kilichoomba Mahakama Kuu kumudu NTSA kutekeleza mfumo wa faini za papo hapo, kimeelezea kuwa hakiishii kutoa ombi lake hata baada ya NTSA kutangaza kusimamishwa kwa programu hiyo mara moja.

Danstan Omari, mmoja wa mawakili waliowasilisha ombi hilo, alizungumza saa chache baada ya NTSA kutangaza rasmi kusimamishwa, akisema kuwa NTSA haijashughulikia tatizo la msingi. Mfumo huo ulianza kufanya kazi Machi 9 kwenye barabara kuu, hasa Nairobi, ukitumia kamera za akili za kudhibiti namba za usajili ili kuwajulisha madereva kupitia SMS kuhusu makosa ya trafiki na faini kutoka Ksh500 hadi Ksh10,000.

Madereva walikuwa na siku saba kuwezesha malipo kupitia benki, simu za mkononi au majukwaa ya kidijitali, vinginevyo huduma za NTSA online zingeuzuiliwa. Omari alisema, “Hatutoa ombi letu. Tuna masuala mengine yanayohitaji kushughulikiwa kwani mfumo wa haki ya jinai unaanza na polisi, unaenda kwa DPP na mahakama.” Aliongeza, “NTSA haina mamlaka ya uchunguzi, upelelezi wala ya kimahakama mahali popote.”

NTSA, kupitia Mkurugenzi Mkuu Nashon Kondiwa, ilisema imevuta tangazo la Machi 9 ili kuruhusu elimu ya kiraia na ufahamu zaidi kuhusu utaratibu wa makosa madogo chini ya Sheria ya Trafiki. Hii inafuatiwa na amri ya kihifadhi ya Hakimu Bahati Mwamuye Machi 12 iliyozuilia NTSA, na kesi ya Shadrack Wambui itatajwa Aprili 9.

Ruto endorses NCAJ recommendations for road safety

Imeripotiwa na AI Picha iliyoundwa na AI

President William Ruto has received and endorsed recommendations from the National Council on the Administration of Justice (NCAJ) to improve road safety in Kenya. The recommendations include mandatory defensive driving certification for public service vehicle (PSV) operators and the rollout of decentralised vehicle inspections through a public-private partnership starting July 1. He also ordered the installation of smart traffic cameras and an instant fines system in major cities within one month.

The Kenya Transporters Association (KTA) has called for the immediate rollout of an on-the-spot traffic fine system payable through mobile money platforms, aiming to eliminate the conventional court-based enforcement that it describes as costly and inefficient. The group argues this would ease court backlogs and boost road safety. The proposal arrives as the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) prepares to launch instant fines amid Kenya's push toward digitized services.

Kenyan police have called on the government to expand National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) speed cameras and reinstate instant fines nationwide. Chief Inspector Hellen Wamuyu stated these measures deter reckless driving and enhance road discipline. The endorsement follows recent fatal accidents and government efforts to overturn a court injunction on the fines system.

The office of the state attorney in South Africa has drawn criticism for its reluctance to pay cost orders totaling around R700,000 to conservationist Fred Daniel, following a landmark court ruling against state-sponsored corruption. This delay, amid a government appeal of a R306-million damages award, has led Daniel to enforce asset seizures from the Mpumalanga Tourism and Parks Agency. Internal emails reveal ongoing pressure to settle the payments.
