Soon after his appointment last year, Inspector-General of Police Hillary Mutyambai directed that police roadblocks be removed as they had become a nuisance. The purpose of roadblocks is to enforce traffic regulations and ensure safety on roads. Although Mr Mutyambai gave the directive, some of his officers insist on erecting the roadblocks. Many motorists flout curfew rules, which is a grave matter, but are hardly arrested. But in so doing, there must be alternatives for enforcing traffic roles to eliminate chaos on the roads.
