NAN-H-90 Motorists Aisha Ahmed Kano, Jan. 24, 2016 (NAN) The Executive Director of Kano Road Traffic Agency (KAROTA), Alhaji Muhammed Zarewa, has warned motorists against giving bribe to workers of the agency.
The director gave the warning in a broadcast at a local radio station in Kano on Tuesday.
He explained that the agency did not appoint any of its staff members to collect money on roads.
“If a defaulter is found, the members of staff are expected to take him to the Head Office where the person will be called to accept his offence.
“If need be, the defaulter will face the mobile court attached to the agency where he will be fined according to the law.
“This agency was created to reduce road traffic vices in Kano and to help road users in knowing road regulations.
“We are doing our best to train our staff to reduce corruption from the service and have a good human relation with the public,’’ he said.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) also reports that there is growing public outcry on corruption against KAROTA.
NAN recalls that former governor Rabiu Kwankwaso, now Senator, created the agency to ensure effective traffic mamangement across the state. (NAN)
