Motorists To Receive Instant Fines Via SMS As NTSA Rolls Out New System
NAIROBI, Kenya, Mar 9 — The National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) has launched a new Instant Fines Traffic Management System that will automatically issue traffic violation notifications to motorists via SMS.
In a public notice issued Monday, NTSA said the system is now live and is designed to enhance transparency, efficiency, and accountability in traffic enforcement by eliminating human intervention in the issuance of fines.
Under the system, motorists who violate traffic regulations will receive automated notifications indicating the offence and the fine payable.
NTSA said all fines issued through the platform must be paid through the KCB Group branch network within seven days.
Motorists who fail to settle the fines within the stipulated period will have the amount accrue interest.
In addition, vehicles or drivers with outstanding penalties will be unable to access NTSA service platforms until the fines are cleared.
The authority urged motorists to strictly observe traffic regulations and respond promptly to official notifications sent through the system.
NTSA said additional details about the system will be communicated through official government channels.
