Traffic offenders could soon face real-time prosecution and instant penalties if new proposals by the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), Renson Ingonga, are adopted.
During a meeting with the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) on Thursday, Ingonga proposed the creation of a joint digital integration and evidence-sharing framework between the NTSA, the National Police Service (NPS), and the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP).
According to the DPP, the goal is to streamline investigations and enable the timely prosecution of traffic offences.
The DPP stated that the proposed system would allow for secure, real-time data exchange among the agencies, helping to curb the increasing number of road accidents.
