RULES * Kenya - Transporters Now Want Control of Weighbridges
Nairobi,Kenya -The East African/All Africa.com , by Gitonga Marete & Githua Kihara -20 October 2008: -- The implementation of the three-axle rule in Kenya has taken an unexpected turn, with the Kenya Transporters Association (KTA) now demanding to be given authority to supervise weighbridges to curb overloading by errant transporters... This comes as non compliant transporters, left with no alternative after being forced to weigh their trucks at the Mariakani weighbridge, have reluctantly complied with the directive that required them to remove the fourth axle... The KTA say that most of their trucks have complied with the directive but damage to the road will not abate due to the corruption at the weighbridges... Now, the association wants to be involved in running the bridges because transporters believe they are being blamed unfairly... According to KTA vice chairman Kiprop Bundotich, the association, if given the authority, will rein in errant transporters who "tarnish" the reputation of "clean" transporters...
