The government commission in charge of revising the allotment of the yellow cabs known as "pollitos" (little chickens) reports that 639 of the 999 Nissan Serena vehicles allotted by the past PLD government went to persons that did not qualify. To qualify one had to be a taxi driver. The beneficiaries of the vehicles received very favorable financial conditions. The rationale was to replace broken down taxi cars that are circulating on city streets. The PRD transport authorities claim that the vehicles were given out for political reasons and now want to redistribute the vehicles.
