The article critiques corruption within Kenya's traffic police, contrasting it with a recent incident in New Zealand where the Inspector General of Police was ticketed for speeding by his own officers and publicly apologized.

• The author suggests Kenyan traffic police largely act as "tax collectors" for their superiors, rather than enforcing traffic laws impartially.
• The author proposes that the entire traffic department should be disbanded or tasked with accounting for money collected at roadblocks, which should then be taxed accordingly.
• Instances of police looking away from infractions by Cabinet Secretaries and their convoys, while targeting average citizens for fabricated offenses, are highlighted.
