The Kenya National Highways Authority's (KeNHA) Axle Load Enforcement Unit has called on the Judiciary to impose stiffer penalties on truck operators found transporting overloaded cargo.

KeNHA's assistant director for axle load compliance, Peter Maruti said courts often treat axle load violations as ordinary traffic offences, resulting in fines that are far below those prescribed under the law.

Maruti spoke during a meeting with judicial officers from the Msambweni and Malindi law courts.
