(MENAFN- Arab Times)Â Assistant Undersecretary for Traffic Affairs Major-General Abdulfattah Al-Ali has ordered the deportation of an Asian household driver for committing 24 serious traffic offences, including skipping the red traffic light 15 times, reports Al-Rai daily.
A police source said the sponsor of the Asian visited Al-Ali in his office and appealed to him to release the driver saying his children are familiar with the man and since he is the one who drops them and picks them from their respective schools.
When Al-Ali insisted on his decision the sponsor reportedly lost his temper and challenged the Major-General to deport 'his man'. He also reminded the officer that the driver's passport is in his safe custody. Then Al-Ali reportedly gave instructions to his men to get a travel document issued by the driver's embassy which was done in just a few hours.
The Asian is detained at the Deportation Center. The source added the Ministry will bear the cost of the travel and the sponsor will have to pay double the amount of the ticket. It has also been reported instructions have been issued to the General Immigration Department not to entertain the request of the concerned sponsor for domestic workers in future because he refused to hand over the passport of his Asian driver..
