Canodromo / Listin Diario

The story of the day is the aggression against the Ombudsman Pedro Pablo Ulloa and media by traffic agents (Digesett) based at the Canódromo, the former dog racing venture today used for the storing of seized vehicles and motorcycles. As reported, the director of the Ombudsman Office and media from the Listin Diario newspaper and CDN (Channel 37) made an unannounced inspection visit to El Coco Vehicle Retention Center (El Canódromo) on 11 April.

Just WOW!. That problem can be solved. Sell all the motos and cars to a middleman, ship to Nigeria and they will all be functioning and running in 2 weeks.

Thanks for clarifying, I was not referring to the ombudsman. That part is actually a good sign and hopefully continues to improve oversight of the governmental functions.

I meant the extreme defensiveness of the DIGISETT in not allowing a valid inspection and their subsequent actions with the physical assault.

And why Nigeria in particular?

And why Nigeria in particular?

having been there 30 plus times I know they are desperate for all things mechanical and will repair almost anything. While it not cost effective to repair certain things anywhere else in the world they have the available man hours to fix anything at pennies on the dollar

Even I'm surprised at how fast they dumped the Coronela in charge. I'd also bet there will be an entirely new crew working there in the next day or two.

...and there should be. Every digiseter on that video should be out on the street with no severance.

yes, especially cars and motos, they sell them all over East Africa

I was thinking the exact same thing.
They are sitting on a gold mine.
