The Judiciary will be mounting mobile courts along major corridors to deal with traffic offences, among the changes announced on Monday, December 15.

This is part of an elaborate plan by the National Council on the Administration of Justice (NCAJ), which brings together, among others, ODPP, NTSA, police, and the Judiciary to reduce road accidents during the festive season.

Koome said that the courts will be utilised for charging drivers who violate road traffic rules during the festive season.

According to Koome, NTSA will also reinforce surveillance on high-risk transport corridors to ensure compliance with road regulations among motorists.

According to Koome, the EACC will also deploy officers along roads on roads to nab motorists and traffic police officers who engage in corruption.
