HARARE - Government has said motorists must borrow from colleagues to pay for on-the-spot road traffic offenses if they do not have cash, and said it would not introduce alternative means of payment as it was in serious need of cash. This came out after National Assembly members on Wednesday grilled deputy Home Affairs minister Ruth Mavhunga-Maboyi on why the police were insisting on cash payments for spot fines, a situation that they say has created a fertile ground for corruption.
Mavhunga-Maboyi, in response, said the police will not relent on the issue of spot fines despite complaints from the public.
