NTSA Moves to Court Seeking Order to Reinstate Instant Traffic Fines After High Court Suspension

 

The National Transport and Safety Authority has announced plans to seek a court order that would allow it to continue enforcing recently introduced instant traffic fines. 

The move comes after the High Court of Kenya suspended the implementation of the fines following a petition challenging the policy.

Speaking during a press briefing on Thursday, March 12, the authority’s Director General Nashon Kondiwa said the agency will request an injunction from the High Court to allow enforcement of the fines to continue while the case is being heard.

According to Kondiwa, the authority intends to apply for a temporary injunction that would maintain the current situation and prevent what it views as possible harm to road safety efforts.
