Lawyer Ndegwa Njiru, an ally of former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, plans to sue the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) over alleged fraud in the instant traffic fine payment system. He has called on motorists to provide proof of payments made for overspeeding fines via the eCitizen platform to support his case. Njiru has previously represented Gachagua in various legal matters, including a challenge to his impeachment.

The National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) has issued official notices on social media to clarify the workings of its new instant fines system and to remind the public about legitimate communication channels. The notices aim to help Kenyans discern between true and false information regarding the system and provide guidance on avoiding scams, particularly in relation to payments through eCitizen and KCB.
