The National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) has announced that it will introduce its latest and advanced alco-blow gadgets on Friday.
NTSA Director General Francis Meja stated that the gadgets have been distributed all over the country.
Meja noted that the new gadget gives results faster and it also has a finger print reader to show the driver’s history.
"We intend to use them tomorrow during our random drink driving operations around towns and major highways," Meja stated.
He added, "We have been undertaking evidence based options and the addition of the gadgets will enhance our efforts significantly."
The NTSA Boss noted that 80% of accidents on Kenyan roads were caused by human behaviour.
In April, the court of appeal ruled that it was illegal for motorists to be charged under rules that operationalised the Traffic Act
The appellate judges ordered that motorists who failed the alcoblow test should be charged under the Act itself and not the rules.
