Govt officials demand special treatment at toll gates

Senior government officials are demanding special treatment at tollgates saying they are not comfortable having their exemption certificates scanned before they pass through.

Instead, the officials want a Number Plate Recognition System (NPRS), which scans their vehicle’s plate numbers as they approach the tollgate and automatically lifts the boom gate to let them through.

“They just want to come and pass with very minimum delay that has been our main reason for pushing for the NPRS,” Intertoll country operations manager Joseph Mafanuke told a parliamentary panel on Transport yesterday. Daily News
