The initiative is geared towards ending rampant corruption on the roads."The equipment we have at most inspection centers are obsolete. We will purchase equipment that will accurately detect problems in any vehicle," said Eng Gerald Wangai, the Director of Motor Vehicle Inspection.He was speaking on Friday at the Green Hills Hotel in Nyeri County during a stakeholders' meeting to discuss the review of inspection rates.Wangai noted that drivers will now be required to display their certificates of inspections on their windshields that will come with digitization."The owner will receive the report on his account which he can access on the phone. They will know if the car passed on failed and the reasons why the vehicle did not pass," Eng Wangai added.In the past motorists have complained of congestion and blatant corruption at the inspection facilities.
