New rule set to give inspectors 5% of total fines they collect from violators

Those who violate traffic rules in Qatar should be really careful as the incentive for officials catching offenders have gone up. So expect them to be more vigilant and strict from now on.

Minister of Municipality and Environment HE Mohammed bin Abdullah Al Rumaihi announced a special financial incentive for ministry employees who have been bestowed with judicial powers to conduct inspections and catch violations, according to a report in The peninsula.

The officers will receive 5% of total fines they collect from companies and erring outlets. However, the total reward per person, will not exceed QR100,000.

The paper clarified that the incentive was restricted to fines for violations caught during official inspection campaigns. Inspectors are not eligible for the reward if violations are detected accidentally or through complaints from the public.

100k is the total incentive they can avail of... The maximum... Just once... Not like they reset to 0 everytime they hit 100k...

This is poor reporting i must say, there is no mention of traffic police or traffic violation in the original link. And traffic violation up-to 100k? Sense check would have helped.

The op could be wrong or it could be me; but reading the report gave me the impression that this is the municipal ministry talking about fines issued by ministry inspectors from businesses for violations of best practices and standards... Not the traffic dept about traffic violations issued by police officers...
