Car owners have registered 4,700 vehicles in a week to avoid fines of up to Sh300,000 following a State directive barring the use of unregistered vehicles on Kenyan roads.

The National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) disclosed the figures on Monday when the registration window closed, setting the stage for fines on those using unregistered units.
