The centre inspects the roadworthiness of vehicles. The Director of Traffic Police, Robert Niyonshuti, said the development will help reduce the number of road accidents caused by mechanical defects.
The centre is the first of its kind with its capacity in the country although another one existed before in Nyamirambo, a city suburb, at the offices of Onatracom, a public transport company.
