A section of traffic police officers are using touts to collect bribes from motorists in different parts of the country to avoid detection from authorities. The national police service commission revealed this on Monday during the ongoing vetting for traffic cops in Mombasa which started Tuesday, May 24 2016. “We have reports that officers operating in traffic have devised new methods of collecting money from the public including using touts," he said. Kenya has about 2, 500 traffic officers. And so, the money which they consider a fee for one to ply a certain route is given to certain touts,” Kavuludi said.
