President William Ruto has openly challenged Transport Cabinet Secretary Davis Chirchir over the delayed installation of traffic cameras on major roads.
During a public engagement, the President directly questioned the CS on when Kenyans should expect the cameras to be operational, expressing frustration over the slow implementation of the project.
“When can we have the cameras on the roads? You haven’t answered my question, Davis,” Ruto said, pressing for a clear timeline.
In response, Chirchir assured the President that the installation process would be expedited, committing to a maximum timeline of one month for completion.
“Let’s give it a maximum of one month,” the CS responded.
The installation of traffic surveillance cameras is part of the government’s broader plan to enhance road safety, improve traffic management, and enforce compliance with traffic regulations. The system is expected to help curb reckless driving, reduce accidents, and support automated enforcement measures.
The exchange highlights the administration’s push for accountability and timely delivery of infrastructure projects, particularly those aimed at addressing rising road safety concerns across the country.
