[kictanet] 3772 Kenya Gazette supplement no. 130

Wed Nov 2 14:25:51 EAT 2011

Wash
For the avoidance of doubt….

44.   Driving under influence of drink
(1)  Any person who, when driving or attempting to drive, or when in charge of a motor vehicle on a road or other public place, is under the influence of drink or a drug to such an extent as to be incapable of having proper control of the vehicle, shall be guilty of an offence and liable to a fine not exceeding ten thousand shillings or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding eighteen months or to both.
[No. 11 of 1983, Schedule, No. 1 of 1986, s. 10.]
(2)  A person convicted of an offence under this section shall, without prejudice to the power of the court to order a longer period of disqualification, be disqualified, for a period of twelve months from the date of conviction, for holding or obtaining a licence.

 Maybe this time the rules will be enforced. Ofcourse you know what eighteen months in jail would mean. The Kenyan Police will have a ball...obviously some (maybe many) people will bribe...

1. Alcoblow:

I wish our Policemen would be as civil as some cops in the  EU, but again, the level of civility probably starts with the community. I think the Alcoblow is a good thing, but if you think about how our cops abuse the speed guns, then you can see how much they are also going to abuse the Alcoblow. It's simply absurd.

2. Speed cameras:

I haven't seen any speed cameras installed anywhere. Are these supposed to replace the speed guns the cops have always used?

3. Reflective Triangles:

Thanks for this. This is new. Reminds me of the days of the seat belts and speed governors. Some businessmen in the know already had them in high seas! When they got here, the bizmen made their killing. However the Police were not anywhere near willing to enforce the rules.
This reflective triangles rule smells the same. You only need reflective triangles when a vehicle breaks down. Did Kimunya contemplate a situation where vehicles will always break down in KE?
