Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki has said the government intends to remove roadblocks and replace them with cameras.
Speaking in Mombasa on Thursday, Kindiki, however, said the project will take time as they must make proper plans to introduce the iC3 cameras.
He said the move aims to reduce police officers on the roads and deploy them on other priority tasks.
"We can reduce our police officers standing on the roads the whole day, even if they are not taking bribes," he said.
"We need to improve the aspect of road safety management by installing cameras and also reducing what traffic police officers do."
He, however, said they plan to have a few necessary road blocks because the country continues to face threats from terrorists and trafficking.
He added that even in those roadblocks the surveillance will be mainly electronic, not a police officer checking cars.
"We will use technology to ensure road and property safety," he said.
Kindiki also fired a stern warning to police officers taking bribes saying the government will deal ruthlessly and firmly on such corrupt elements.
Transport and Public Works Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen during his vetting on October said he will work with various agencies to set up a camera-backed e-police system.
Murkomen said the initiative will be used to collect fines from traffic offenders.
He stated that the money collected can be used to supplement the various infrastructure projects.
“We will deploy the Intelligent Transport System (ITS) and we’ll therefore have no need for the analogue system of dealing with indiscipline on our roads,” he said.
He pledged to boost the technological infrastructure along the border points to ease the congestion of trucks along the Northern Corridor.
