Kenya: The Kenya National Highways Authority (KNHA) has intensified efforts to fight corruption at weighbridges by appointing an independent firm to manage and upgrade the entire network. SGS Kenya Limited has been appointed by the authority to protect Kenya’s highway from overloading by unscrupulous transporters.
“We have taken several actions to combat the problem of corruption at weighbridges, including installation of advanced technology, which removes discretion by the police and operators of weighbridge stations,” said Albert Stockell, managing director SGS Kenya Limited in a statement.
