More than 30 trucks Impounded by the police and Kenya National Highways Authority(KeNHA) for overloading are set to be auctioned for failure to pay fines.
According to SSP John Gichuhi, the fines range between Sh.400,000 to Sh. 4 million per lorry for various offenses.
The owners of the lorries have failed or neglected to collect them in the last 90 days.
“The law will follow its cause. They have left the lorries at Police yards in weighbridges. We have advised KeNHA to auction them”, he said.
Engineer Kennedy Ndugire said the offenders have been afforded humble time to pay, but they have failed to do so within the legal period.
Eng. Ndugire said the matter has been escalated to other agencies for enforcement action. He urged truck drivers and owners to stop over loading as they risk getting their lorries auctioned.
