NTSA launches instant traffic fines system
In their list of demands, the operators want the Government to exempt them from monthly levies, since their returns are already strained due to the requirement to carry less passengers/MOSES MUOKI

NAIROBI, Kenya, Mar 9 – The National Transport and Safety Authority has launched a new Instant Fines Traffic Management System that will automatically issue traffic violation notifications to motorists via SMS.

The authority said the system is fully automated and operates without human intervention, a move aimed at improving transparency, efficiency, and accountability in traffic enforcement across the country.

Motorists who receive fines through the system will be required to pay the penalties within seven days through branches of KCB Group.

NTSA warned that failure to settle the fines within the stipulated period will lead to interest being charged on the outstanding amount.

In addition, motorists with pending fines will not be able to access or transact on NTSA service platforms until the penalties are cleared.

Drivers have been urged to observe traffic rules and promptly respond to any official notifications issued through the system.
