The Daily Graphic comments on the grounding of 400 buses of MMT imported from China in 2006 because of the non-availability of spare parts and trained mechanics to repair them.

The paper finds it very worrying that the buses have been grounded due to lack of foresight on the part of those who secured the buses on behalf of the company.

The paper thinks that it is unpardonable for the company to acquire the buses from China without due diligence and technical support in the event of breakdowns.

The paper therefore calls on Government to renew interest in reviving the country's moribund public transportation system whiles the Ministry of Transport should do everything to save the MMT but action should include severe sanctions against those whose actions or inaction has led to the current state of the MMT.
