Motability scandal?

Although the boss has been made to resign over his high pay, there seems to be little criticism of government for allowing such a waste of public money. They seem to think it was ‘disabled people’s money’ without giving a thought to the fact most of them will be on benefits, and are encouraged to use this scheme

Yep … been tempted to post but … a business and not a charity.

Revealed: Fat cat boss of disabled car charity who earns 11 times more than the Prime Minister will get £2million ‘loyalty’ bonus, despite firm hoarding £2.4bn in public money

Motability Operations runs scheme that supplies vehicles to wheelchair users.

Boss Mike Betts earns £1.7 million a year – 11 times more than Theresa May.

The charity ( ??? ) allegedly covered up £2million bonus payout to him.

Motability last night declined to say if Mr Betts had been awarded a £2 million bonus, but denied concealing details of its executives’ pay.
