You are right on KRA.  Indeed they have RFID infrastructure in most of our roads.  I shall keep you updated.

Im happy that attempts have been made. is it possible Daktari to
highlight in your opinion what made them not succeed, that way as
responsible kenyans we can also seek to follow / remind you about the
traffic cams as you seek to engage those involved. They could even get
 investors taking chunks of road and installing speed cams. i bet with
appropriate ROI many would take up on the offer.

ps:
my suggestion to involve the KRA as  the implementation agent is
simply that we would eliminate unnecessary repetition of work.
everyone eventually interacts with KRA. which is kind of a nice, self
policing strategy.

You can watch all manner of things that happen on that road up to the airport.  We can easily deploy these technologies in many of the roads.  I will make another attempt.  We do not need any new legislation.  When you break the law, it does not matter how you are caught.
