A driver attached to Kibra MP Peter Orero who was last week caught on camera while dangerously overtaking was Monday fined Sh100,000 or he be jailed for a year for the offence.
Milimani magistrate Rose Ndombi jailed George Oduor for 12 months or he pays a fine of Sh100,000 being the maximum fine provided for in law.
Oduor was Monday charged with dangerously overtaking a flow of vehicles along Oloitoktok Road within Nairobi county.
He was driving MP Orero’s Toyota Prado KBN 546S.
Oduor pleaded guilty and asked the court for forgiveness saying it was the first time he committed such an offence.
“I was rushing to the airport and there was traffic so I thought I could overtake to save time. I’m a first time offender and I will not repeat the mistake,” Oduor said.
However, the state pressed for maximum penalties saying the overtaking was intentional and that Oduor’s reaction as caught in the camera reeks of impunity.
