The National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) has officially begun cracking down on speeding drivers after installing digital cameras on roads.

NTSA installed digital speed cameras on major highways, targeting Kenyans who exceed speed limits, with penalties including hefty fines or even jail terms in extreme cases.

With the new digitisation system, motorists exceeding speed limits receive notifications on their mobile phones, and fines are automatically posted to the offender's NTSA accounts.

Offenders are then required to pay the fines promptly via mobile money transfer services.
