Government Suspends Automated Traffic Fines for One Month Amid Public Outcry
The Ministry of Works and Transport has suspended the automated Express Penalty Scheme (EPS) for one month, following widespread public complaints over errors, harsh penalties, and poor implementation. Minister Gen. Katumba Wamala announced the pause to allow for a review of the system, engagement with stakeholders, and public sensitisation. The move comes amid rising frustration from car dealers and road users, with many citing duplicated fines, inadequate signage, and unfair enforcement. The ministry pledged to address all gaps before resuming the EPS Auto system on July 12, 2025.
