Police closes in on stolen Metro Mass buses, intercepts four
The police in the Ashanti region has intercepted
four of 12 missing buses belonging to the Metro
Mass Transit Ltd.

The 12 buses, designated for auctioning at the MMT
went missing from the company’s yard in Kumasi
and has sparked agitations among workers of the
transport company who have threatened to embark on
an industrial action next week if the buses are
not found and returned.

The workers believe some corrupt senior officers
of the MMT sold the buses to private individuals
without following due processes.

But Starr News’ Ashanti regional correspondent
Isaac Bediako reports the police has located four
of the buses at a private mechanic shop in
Kumasi.

The police is yet to make an official statement on
the intercepted buses.

Meanwhile, the committee set up to investigate the
missing buses at the Metro Mass Transit Limited
will complete its work in five days.

A member of the committee, Delali Kwaku Kuma, told
Starr News the committee is working round the
clock to come out with a credible report.

“The union has representation on the committee
so we are working on coming out with something
very credible. We are going to do a very diligent
thorough work to arrive at the true facts of the
issue.”

He however said the preliminary findings of the
committee indicate that the missing buses were
moved on a Sunday evening.
