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.

A motorist who paid a KSh 10,000 speeding fine through the NTSA's official channel discovered that the payment was deposited into a KCB account under a private individual's name. This incident, highlighted by lawyer Donald Kipkorir, has reignited concerns regarding the payment structure used by the NTSA, which a Nairobi court had previously questioned.
