Motorists in Kenya have been put on notice that police will now firmly enforce regulations on speed limits.
Traffic Commandant Samuel Kimaru said, after receiving ten speed cameras from the National Road Safety Trust, that speed has been a major cause of accidents and traffic police will now expand their operational areas.
The Russian-made speed cameras record on a memory card the speed at which a vehicle is moving, the picture of the vehicle and area in which the data is captured.
“Speed has been a menace on the roads but I am sure that with these cameras we will achieve impressive results. When arrested we will not compromise with you (offenders) because the cameras have printable data. We will take all offenders to court. That’s where they will find justice,” Kimaru affirmed after the total of the cameras was increased to sixteen.
Kenya has one of the highest records in road fatalities with more than 14,700 people killed in road accidents since 2009 and more than 40,000 having sustained serious injuries in the same period.
Among members of the National Road Safety Trust who contributed the cameras are the948 General Motors, East African Breweries Limited, Total Kenya and Safaricom.
