The
House of Representatives has mandated its Committee on the Federal
Capital Territory to carry out a public hearing to investigate the
process leading to the concession, award and operation of the “Park and
Pay Policy” in Abuja metropolis.
This
came as a result of a motion raised by Hon Bitrus Kaze who noted that
the companies contracted to implement the policy do not maintain any
infrastructure or provide professional services. He added that the
companies only remit between 10 to 40 per cent of generated revenue and
keep 60 to 90 per cent to themselves.
Hon
Kaze further stated that the policy which was initiated in 2012 order
to create sanity in traffic management in the city centre has become an
avenue for exploitation, fraud and other forms of illegal practices.
The committee was given three weeks to make recommendations to the House.
