Background
In April 2018, the board of the Metro Mass Transit Limited ordered the managing director of the company Bennet Aboagye and his personal assistant Yiadom Kesse to proceed on leave.
The sudden action comes in the wake of the corruption scandal that has rocked the company over the last few days.
The staff union of the transport company petitioned the Transport Minister to demand the removal of Aboagye for full-scale investigations into his alleged corruption and procurement breaches.

Aboagye was accused of breaching several procurement laws in the acquisition of some 300 buses since taking over the company over a year ago.
He [Aboagye] and a leading member of the NPP, Dr. Amoako Tuffuor were accused of attempting to bribe the whistleblower with GHc40, 000 when they were confronted with evidence.
But the embattled MD described the allegations as attempted blackmail.
