Traffic offence: Ekiti lawmaker weeps over N30,000 fine
December 13, 2012 by Femi Makinde, Ado-Ekiti


The lawmaker representing Moba Constituency II at the Ekiti State House of Assembly, Mrs. Ayoka Fatumbi, broke down in tears as officials of Ekiti State Traffic Management Agency fined her N30,000 for violating traffic laws

It was gathered that the lawmaker’s car, a Toyota Sienna, was impounded by officials of the agency for packing loaves of bread on the roof of the car and for using the House of Assembly number plate on her private car. shocked shocked

The car with number plate EKHA 03, was said to have been impounded at Ajilosun area around 9.20am on Wednesday.

The car was brought to the premises of the agency.

However, the Chairman of the EKSTMA, Mr. Sola Waya, and the General Manager of the agency, Mr. Charles Fasuba, disagreed on the fine slammed on the lawmaker.

While the chairman was said to have asked the lawmaker to go without paying any fine, Fasuba insisted that the woman must pay the fine.

Fasuba said, “The law is not only for the poor but for both the poor and the rich. The laws were not made for just a section of the society. It doesn’t matter which religion or political party you belong, if you violate the law you will be made to pay for it.

“It is sad for a lawmaker that was a part of the House which passed the law to violate it. Anybody who violates the law will pay the fine.”

However, Fatumbi pleaded that she was not aware that she had to get a permit from the agency before using a vehicle with carrier to transport goods grin

The lawmaker said, “The materials in the vehicle are for the empowerment programme in my constituency tomorrow (today).

“ I don’t know we have to get a permit at the agency before we can use the car to carry load since it has a carrier. I don’t know that a vehicle that has carrier cannot be used to carry load in Ekiti State.

From the Punch.

This is the way it needs to be done
No sacred cows
