Inspector General of Police Hillary Mutyambai has said traffic police officers have embraced technology to ensure that rules are adhered to by motorists.
The IG stated that drivers are required by law to carry physical Driving Licenses with them.
“Yes, we have embraced technology and the law requires the driver to always have the Driving License physically with them,” Mutyambai said.
The IG’s comments on Monday in his weekly Twitter engagement with Kenyans contradicted what he said in November 2020, when he said that a motorist could show a digital DL as proof of being a licensed driver.
He added that the police have focused their efforts and attention on intelligence-led investigations and a multi-agency approach to combating rampant robbery, where the culprits are using motorbikes to execute their plans.
Mutyambai previously stated that the digital DL was accepted after a user inquired about what happens to motorists when they forget their DL, but the most recent remarks paint a different picture.
