Mr. MWIIMBU has reinforced his order that only the specified security checkpoints should be used for mounting traffic blocks by police officers.
He regrets that the illegal barriers have brought shame upon the nation.
Mr. MWIIMBU claims that while the government has not permitted people to disregard traffic laws, authorities can nevertheless execute the laws without putting up unnecessary barriers.

Mr. MWIIMBU is visiting Southern Province to understand the difficulties that the institutions that fall under his ministry are dealing with.
