On July 9, 2019, Inspector General of Police Joseph Boinnet's successor, Hilary Mutyambai, weighed the possibility of introducing incentives for traffic police who refuse to accept bribes.
The move aimed to curb corruption within the traffic police force, which had become a significant concern in Kenya's major cities.
By offering rewards to honest officers, the Inspector General hoped to create a culture of integrity within the force and improve public trust in the police.
