I got fined Tsh30,000/- (~ Ksh1,500/-) for driving at 57 in a 50kph zone yesterday. If Kenya also introduced on-the-spot fines and made the process more friendly, would it reduce the cups of tea shared between drivers and police officers? pic.twitter.com/blJpXEjqTt

I think the solution is reduce these fines between 500-1000 and digitise them...Many times when you commit a traffic offense..the officer mentions your offences and sometimes the amount of fines exceeds 10,000 so you bargain between 1-2K...the normal police bribe is between 100 Bob for matatus to 2000 for private cars...so why not set fines between that 2000 and pay via M-pesa?That way you won't see any officer on the roads.

Exactly set fine at price enough to make people pay without bribing yet it's deterrent..2k or 1k..with mpesa should be easy to pay n get confrontation message

dept of Transport can make it possible thru policy. If it is challenged in court, then its easier to pass it thru parliament. Waiting for politicians and like waiting for a snail.
