Port Harcourt — No fewer than 40 officials of the Rivers State Road
Traffic Management Authority (TIMA-RIV), have been dismissed for their
involvement in corrupt practices, the Controller General, Mr Nelson
Jaja has disclosed.
This is as the agency said in its one year of existence, its has
impounded thousands of vehicles for disobeying traffic laws and rules,
with 570 cars currently in its parking lots in Port Harcourt, the state
capital.
Jaja while addressing a news briefing yesterday in Port Harcourt
explained that the impounded vehicles must not stay for more than three
months in its parking lots, just as he said the agency had obtained
court order to sell 41 of the impounded cars, which had stayed with the
authority for over three months.
He said the agency does not have sympathy for traffic offenders in
the state and its staff involved in bribery and corruption; hence those
culpable have been shown the way out.
