Management of the Metro Mass Transit(MMT) limited has apologised to its passengers nationwide, for not providing services yesterday due to a sit-down strike unionised staff of the company.

A statement signed by the head of communications for the MMT, Bernice Akologo, explained that the company had not purchased a vehicle for the managing director even though per his conditions of service, he was to be given an official vehicle.

The statement claimed that the director was "currently using his personal vehicle for official duties".

It added that the new advisor was brought in to assist the managing director for six months when the current deputies had not been appointed.

The statement said a staff rationalization programme was currently ongoing and it was under it that the finance manager had been reassigned as the head of the Corporate Planning Department.

“It is under this same programme that some depot managers are being reassigned,” the statement mentioned.
