In a statement released on Wednesday by the Inspector General of Police Hillary Mutyambai, the CJ, all 47 county governors and most cabinet secretaries were left out in the list of leaders entitled to special treatment on roads and highways during traffic snarl ups.

In his directive, the IG said the first category of VIPs liable for such treatment include the President, Deputy President and the First Lady.
