Actually the issue here is not the amended rules or the fines,the problem is the police officers are not in their right state of mind and they will just storm out their offices and charge you for an offence you have not committed so it will either be the TKK he demands or the hefty fine,and by the time you get to the station you will have committed multiple offences.........his word against yours,so be the judge on who the looser will be

It's time for our police to eat like never before. With these new laws police no longer need to fight for increments.
BBI will solve it :)

If I am sure that I will find justice in Court, then I can fight the corruption. As it is, the system effectively encourages corruption..Case in point, a cop wants to arrest( be bribed) by a mat driver, as passengers, you ask to be dropped in town. Cop enters mat and orders the driver to the station. Before you know it, you are all under arrest for not wearing seat belts!!!no one checked by the way! You imagine you can tell the magistrate your story...you are dead wrong, even the arresting officer does not show up so you 'kataa' are charged a hefty bond and told to come next month.. cop never shows up, magistrate does jerk about it and gives another date.. effectively you get tired or get caught up one day and you don't show up on time,,and PAP!!! Forfeit cash bail and warrant of arrest issued.. You are now a fugitive..... bruury useless system!!!! I Think Therefore I Am

If all these passengers decide to fight the charges and all give testimony in support of their respective defences it will be the words of fourteen people or more against the word of a single policeman. The policeman would lose. Then all those acquitted sue the policeman and AG for wrongful arrest etc. The above would mostly not happen because people would find it easy to pay a fine of say 1k and move on. But when the states are higher financially then this attitude might change. He who can express in words the ardour of his love, has but little love to express. - Petrach, Son.

Let us all follow the law and be good citizens. We are too used to looking the other way while Matatu misbehave. It is time for change and the time is now. Thieves
