Capital expenditure and future liabilities on new fleets of buses, rolling stock, ticketing systems, restructuring; plus salary, pension etc; for the time he's held the post. I'll have a handkerchief ready... Allegedly he was also responsible in puchasing fleet vehicles across government. Tasked with getting up to 50 new vans for IOM Post but couldnt get red vehicles so got white instead with the idea of spraying them !!! Yes I know it sounds far fetched . Weeks later red became avaiable so he got up to 50 of those too !! Apparently white versions are headed to DOI and the likes. Not sure whats happening to the vast amounts of IOM post vehicles lying at sorting office needing repairs ? Wings , bodywork and the likes not getting touched for ages .
