Tuesday, October 10, 2023 –Ethics and Anti-corruption Commission EACC has nabbed four senior traffic cops soliciting bribes from motorists on a busy highway.
In a statement confirming the events today Tuesday October 10, EACC remarked that the four suspects were arrested along Thika-Garissa Highway.
“As part of ongoing initiatives to tame traffic corruption, EACC arrested 4 police officers extorting money from motorists on Thika-Garissa Highway,” the caption on the four read in part.
The 4 are Deborah Ngila (Deputy Base Commander), Rosemary Nyokabi Robert Kabiru and Christine Chebon.
Meanwhile, President Ruto’s Cabinet has approved the establishment of the Kenya Transport Accident Investigation Bureau (KTAIB) to create reforms related to transport accident investigations.
The bureau will spearhead investigations on road, rail, pipeline, and marine transport accidents, taking the lead from entities like the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) and the National Police Service, who have acted as regulators and investigators.
“It will be an independent agency tasked with comprehensive transport-related accident investigations and the making of safety recommendations,” read the statement by Cabinet.
The Cabinet further noted that when transport regulators handle transport safety investigations, there emerges a conflict of interest which may hinder independent reporting, making the credibility of the investigations questionable.
