A total of 34 traffic offenders were arraigned before the court for 71 different traffic-related offences, with the Sector Legal Officer, CRC Joshua Onalo, appearing as the prosecuting counsel.
Out of the offenders prosecuted, 33 were convicted and paid fines, while one offender was discharged and acquitted at the discretion of the court.

In addition, 12 cases of Dangerous Driving were booked, underscoring the dangers of driving against the normal flow of traffic and the risks such actions pose to other road users.
