  • Kenya National Highway Authority (KeNHA) filed an assault report after a motorist was captured attacking an employee charged with enforcing illegal parking directives. 

    The incident occurred at Southern Bypass, according to the statement dated Saturday, October 22. 

    KeNHA stated that the motorist, a truck driver, had parked along the road shoulders rather than designated areas. 

    “Our attention has been drawn to an incident which occurred today morning in which a truck driver attacked a contractor employee who was managing the Nairobi Southern Bypass, to enforce the ban on parking along road shoulders.

    “The matter has been reported to Kikuyu Police Station, and investigations are underway,” the statement read in part.

    “The authority would like to encourage truck drivers to only park at designated points to avoid being fined ad per the law,” the authority added while encouraging other road users to abide by the parking rules.

    Fines for Illegal Parking

    According to KeNHA, violating parking rules attracts a fine of Ksh30,000 as stipulated by the Traffic Act. 

    “Motorists are encouraged to utilise designated parking lots when parking their vehicles along highways, parking on the road shoulders or otherwise, will attract a fine of Ksh30,000,” KeNHA stated.

    At the same time, the authority reminded motorists that picking up and dropping off passengers at undesignated points attracts a similar amount.

    Other than highways, the county governments also enforce different rules on parking. For instance, in Nairobi county, askaris clamp down on vehicles that park without paying the required fees.

    To ensure compliance, City Hall rolled out a digital system to allow penalised motorists to clear their clamping fees digitally. 

    It also introduced special gadgets to help county officials enforce the directives digitally.

    “We have given out the gadgets, and everything is now working according to plan. We are looking forward to making sure that every part of the city is fully digitised to make the payment system more compliant,” City Hall stated.
