The Managing Director of Kano state Roads Traffic Agency (KAROTA), Faisal Mahmud-Kabir, has stripped two officers of their portfolio over alleged misconduct.
Mahmud-Kabir also approved their immediate redeployment from Kofar Nassarawa towers unit back to the headquarters.
This is contained in a statement by the agency’s Public Relations Officer (PRO) Abubakar Ibrahim-Sharada on Friday in Kano.
The approval to that effect is contained in an official posting letter released Thursday and signed by the Director Administration and General Services of the agency, Mahmud Haido.
In the letter, Haido explained that the redeployment was prompted by series of complaints and allegations of bribery, corruption and indiscriminate extortions allegedly labeled against the affected personnel.
According to the Director, the agency has already issued the affected officers with query letters as preliminary condition of taking disciplinary measures in accordance with the Civil Service Rules (revised 2004),” he said
He emphasised the commitment of the agency to fighting all forms of corruption in its operations, noting that, it would not spare any of its staff involved in committing any heinous act.
The managing director therefore warned all the personnel to discharge their duties with honesty and deep sense of responsibilities and responsiveness.
He maintained that the philosophy behind the establishment of the agency was positive public service not oppression.
