Transport Cabinet Secretary Davis Chirchir has announced an increase in the number of weighbridges across the country as part of the government’s ongoing efforts to enhance transport efficiency.

To improve monitoring and enforcement, Chirchir disclosed the installation of 28 additional weighbridges, which will include both virtual and static stations.

“In exercise of the powers conferred by regulation 9(2) of the Kenya Roads (Kenya National Highways Authority) Regulations, 2013, the Cabinet Secretary for Roads and Transport increases the number of installed weighbridges set out in Part II of the Schedule of the Regulations, with the weighbridges set out in the Schedule hereto,” part of the official notice stated.

The newly introduced static weighbridges include Kikambala along the A7 highway, Kanyonyo along the A3, Awendo along the A1, Dongo Kundu along the Mombasa Southern Bypass A8, and Laisamis along the A2.

The A1, A2, and A8 are major highways in Kenya, as classified under the Kenya Roads Act and the Kenya National Highways Authority (KENHA) regulations of 2013.

Further additions include Yatta along the A3, Sabaki along the A7, and Mwatate along the A6. Kibwezi along the A9, Emali along the A5, and Malili along the A8 are also now part of the network of static weighbridges.

The list continued with Madogo along the A3, Mau Summit along the A8, Kajiado along the A2, and Eldama Ravine along the B77. Cheptiret along the A8, Mukumu along the A1, and Kapenguria along the A1 are also among the new weighbridge stations.

Finally, additional stations like Southern Bypass-Kikuyu along the A8, Southern Bypass-Mombasa along the A8, Kamagambo along the A1, and Meru along the B63 have also been introduced.

Police Stations on Weighbridges 

In a related development, Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja has assigned several police stations to oversee operations at select weighbridges across the country.

The police stations tasked with this responsibility include the Dongo Kundu Weighbridge in Jomvi, located at coordinates S 4°0’10″S, 39°34’13″E, and the Juja Weighbridge, situated at S 1°7’44.96124″E, 36°59’18.23556″.

Other weighbridges where police stations have been appointed to manage operations include the Suswa Weighbridge in Naivasha (S 1°0’11” S, 36°49’33″E), the Busia Weighbridge at Matayos (N 0°26’53.7″N, 34°08’19.5″E), and the Miau Mbooni East Weighbridge (N 1.659680, E 37.616071).

These assignments are part of the government’s ongoing efforts to streamline weighbridge operations and enhance the enforcement of transport regulations on the country’s roads.
