    "content": "“(1A) A person who contravenes the provisions of section (3A) shall be liable to a fine not exceeding twenty thousand shillings. (1B) A police officer shall serve upon the person driving or in charge of a vehicle and who commits an offence under section 42 (1), (2) and (3), with a police notification of traffic offence in the prescribed form charging the person of having committed the offence under the section. (1C) The police notification served under subsection (1B) shall require the person to attend court to answer such charge as may be preferred within forty-eight hours of service of the notification. (1D) The procedure stipulated under section 117 (4), (5), (6), (7), (8), (9) and (10) shall apply to this section.” The justification is that the amendment seeks to give a judicial officer discretion to impose a fine, but such fine shall be at a maximum of Kshs20,000 depending on the severity of the offence and the circumstances of each case. This serves to provide a systematic order by which offences committed are notified to offender and the procedure afterwards."
