Further to the gross misconduct bothering in on corruption and indiscipline in LASTMA , the Lagos State Government decided to sacked about 157 its o fficers who are found involving themselves in a act of indecipline and misconduct.
The dismissed LASTMA officers were dragged to the Personnel Management Board, a disciplinary organ of government to prove their innocence but failed to convince the board hence they were sacked. The PMB, satisfied that they were no-longer fit in the service, while the Civil Service Commission issued sacked letters to the affected officers. It was further gathered that the sacked officers also had cases of corruption, certificate forgery, bribery and dereliction of duty leveled against them.
It will be recalled that over 250 LASTMA officers were dismissed last year by the government for gross misconduct, corruption, among others.Read on after the cut...
This is really a sanitization exercise in LASTMA, the state government had before now said the authority would not tolerate any act of indiscipline and insolence of any form, warning that officers whose conduct would tarnish the image of the state would be shown the way out.
The Commissioner for Transportation, Kayode Opeifa said government would not condone any form of indiscipline among LASTMA officers. Opeifa said, “The LASTMA authority is strict in applying disciplinary measures as nobody that has done wrong will go unpunished.”
