Kenyan Members of Parliament (MPs) are opposing the National Transport and Safety Authority's (NTSA) practice of attaching instant traffic fines to vehicle logbooks, arguing it unfairly penalizes owners instead of the drivers.

• Key opposition comes from Molo MP Kuria Kimani, who highlighted the issue of vehicles used by employees and those under financing.
• The proposed change aims to ensure accountability rests with the offender and avoid complications for vehicle financiers.
