By GRACE GITAUMore by this AuthorThe National Police Service Commission has raised concern over the high number of traffic offenders whose cases are never taken to court, revealing the rot in the traffic department in Central region. This emerged on Friday during the vetting of traffic officers, who were cited as notorious in colluding with towing businesses, while receiving huge sums of money daily. The commission’s chairman, Mr Johnston Kavuludi, on Friday said police arrest traffic offenders, take them to their stations but demand bribes instead of pressing charges. “If someone comes dangling a carrot to one who is in need, the temptation would be for them to take it,” said Mr Kavuludi. A worrying trend of junior officers in the traffic department sending huge amounts of money to their seniors was also observed in central region.
