Ali shuffles all top traffic p
All divisional traffic bosses have been reshuffled.
Commissioner of Police Maj Gen Hussein Ali has transferred 79 traffic chiefs to the general duties department in a move aimed at restoring trust in the section.
Majority of the transferred officers are of the rank of chief inspector and above. General duties in the force include patrols.
The police boss has also ordered that any traffic officer, who has been in the department for more than three years, be moved to other sections by June.
The transferred officers are supposed to report to their new stations by the end of this month.
Police sources said the transfers were necessitated by complaints by the public that officers in the department were corrupt.
But when reached for comment Traffic Commandant, Daudi Kyalo, downplayed the reshuffle and termed the transfers a normal rotation in the force. "They are normal rotations in the force. None should read much in it because they usually occur," he said.
Another source said the reshuffle is the beginning of more changes to come in the force by April.
The transfers are the biggest to be effected at once in the recent past.
Matatu crews have accused traffic policemen of corruption. At one time they held daylong protests demanding the removal of the officers.
Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission (Kacc) officials have in the past arrested some of the suspects and charged them in court.
The latest victim was the Buru Buru traffic chief who was allegedly caught on camera receiving a bribe in his office. He was taken to court where he denied the charge.
Kacc has targeted the department in the last months and has been able to arrest several junior officers receiving bribes.
Kyalo decried the increase of road accidents and called for concerted efforts to curb them.
