Drivers to pay daily congestion charge in war against pollution
Motorists will pay a traffic congestion charge and companies hit with a new tax for every tonne of carbon emitted from their plants if a government proposal to protect the environment is adopted.
The Treasury disclosed plans for the daily variable toll in a policy document made public on Tuesday in the race to ease traffic snarl-ups and air pollution.
Under the plan, the State is seeking the introduction of a congestion charge— a fee charged on cars driven in zones marked as heavy traffic areas such as the central business district.
Companies, especially manufacturing plants, face a fresh carbon tax to encourage them to cut emissions.
Kenya will follow in the footsteps of major cities that have introduced or are on course to unveil the traffic congestion charge.
New York, which has the most congested traffic in the US, will become the first major global city to introduce the charge after London, which did so in 2003.

I don't agree with this, the government should work on other decongestion measures and not charging people for their failure to manage traffic.
