KIBRA MP ORERO’S DRIVER GEORGE ODUOR FINED SH100K FOR TRAFFIC VIOLATION

Kibra MP Peter Orero’s driver, George Oduor, has been fined Ksh100,000 for dangerous overtaking and obstructing other road users.

Oduor appeared before the Milimani Traffic Court following a viral video that captured him blocking motorists along a city road. The court was told that on October 9, along Oloitoktok Road within Nairobi, he dangerously overtook a line of vehicles, obstructing the flow of traffic.

When the charges were read to him, he admitted to the offence and pleaded for leniency,  “I am sorry, Your Honour. I was in a hurry to drop someone at the airport and I will not repeat the offence,” he said.

In her ruling, the magistrate said she had considered the driver’s plea and noted that the law provides for a fine of up to Ksh100,000 for such an offence.
