Did you know you don't always have to go to the cells for a minor traffic offense
Under Section 116 of the Traffic Act, an officer has the legal power to issue you a Notice to Attend Court (NTAC) instead of arresting you or towing your car on the spot. This official document acts as a formal court summons, allowing you to drive away and continue your day safely.
The condition is simple: you must present yourself to the designated traffic court at the exact date and time written on the slip. By law, this notice must be served to you within 14 days of the alleged offense.
Just don't ignore it! Because it carries the weight of a court summons, skipping your date automatically triggers a warrant of arrest.

A police officer carries enormous power.
The power to stop, search, arrest, detain, investigate and, in some cases, use force.
That power must always come with responsibility.
It is therefore deeply disturbing that many police officers in Kenya continue to hide their names and service numbers while carrying out their duties. This is not only wrong, it is a direct violation of the law.
The National Police Service Act No. 11A of 2011 is clear. Paragraph A10 states:
"A Police officer in uniform shall at all times affix a nametag or identifiable Service number in a clearly visible part of the uniform."
The law does not say "sometimes." It does not say "when convenient." It says at all times.
Why would an officer conceal their identity from the public they are sworn to serve?
An honest officer should have no fear of being identified.
A professional officer should proudly wear their name and service number. It is the rogue officer, the corrupt officer and the abusive officer who benefits from anonymity.
When citizens cannot identify officers, complaints become impossible. Accountability disappears. Justice is obstructed. Public trust is destroyed.
The Inspector General knows this problem exists.
The National Police Service Commission knows it exists.
Human rights organizations have repeatedly raised concerns about it. Yet little meaningful action has been taken.
A police uniform should never become a mask behind which misconduct is hidden.
The question Kenyans must ask is simple:
Are we being policed by accountable public servants, or by individuals who deliberately conceal their identities while exercising state power?
No police officer should be above the law. The first duty of law enforcement is to obey the law.
Every officer must wear a visible name tag and service number.
There is money in this world. Insane money. Your mates are making ridiculous money out there because of information, access, and network. Pressure yourself, you are not doing enough.

Do not rush out of the slippery bathroom to pick your calls. Cultivate the habit of calling back when you are done instead. Airtime is far cheaper than brain surgery.
