THE Land Transportation Office (LTO) has imposed a 90-day preventive suspension on one of its employees in Samar for alleged complicity in an anomalous registration of a motor vehicle.
LTO chief Vigor Mendoza II said the suspension order was in relation to the administrative cases of gross neglect of duty and conduct prejudicial to the best interest of the service based on the complaint of a motor vehicle owner last January.
“Considering that your position affords you the opportunity to exert undue influence or-pressure on potential witnesses and tamper with evidence, pending Formal Investigation, you are hereby placed under Preventive Suspension for a period of NINETY (90) DAY, effective immediately upon receipt hereof,” the order read.
Based on the complaint of the vehicle owner, it was the supervising transportation regulation officer in Samar who processed the illegal transfer of ownership involving her car.
