Kenya has opened a multibillion-shilling bidding war among South Korean firms to install an intelligent transport system across Nairobi in a fresh push to reduce reliance on manual enforcement by police officers at some of the city’s busiest junctions.

The Kenya Urban Roads Authority (Kura) has restricted the contract to install smart traffic lights, automated Vehicle Enforcement Systems (VES), CCTV cameras, vehicle detector systems and Variable Message Signs (VMS) across key transport corridors in the capital to firms from South Korea.
