NAIROBI: The firm that operates weighbridges in the country says it has forwarded a list of heavy trucks notorious for overloading to the Kenya National Highway Authority (KeNHA).

Societe Generale de Surveillance (SGS) Managing Director Albert Stockell said in Mombasa Sunday that unscrupulous transporters had devised unorthodox methods to defeat technologies mounted at the weighbridges, including smearing number plates with mud, to dodge CCTV camera surveillance.
