Special Prosecutor, Martin Amidu has warned the board of the Metro Mass Transit Limited (MMT) to desist from any attempt to cover up any findings in the on going scandal that has hit the organization.

Mr. Amidu cautioned the board of the MMT not to tamper with evidence as his office “probes the alleged corrupt practices involving the suspended Managing Director of the company, Bennet Aboagye”.

In a letter to the Board of the MMT, Mr. Amidu said, there would be a criminal investigation into the matter following a similar petition presented to his office.

“While Metro Mass Transit Ltd is at liberty to invoke its administrative procedures to address purely administrative infractions of its regulations, care ought to be taken in that, the process does not compromise the integrity of the eventual criminal investigation to be conducted by us”, the letter signed by Martin Amidu stated.

Mr. Martin Amidu in his letter said “no obstruction will be tolerated”.

“Nothing should be done that may be interpreted as calculated to interfere with any witness or witnesses or the complainant in the pending complaint. Notice also ought to be taken of the fact that any obstruction of this office from performing a function under the Act 959 may constitute an offence”, the letter added.

He also assured that the complaint “will be fairly and impartially investigated as soon as arrangements underway for the purpose are compiled.”

It will be recalled that a petition, signed by one Mr. Lawal, who is said to be the company’s Head of Security alleged that the embattled Managing Director was in collusion with some top officials of the company to secretly purchase 300 new buses and electrical products, and sell off MMT scrap buses.
