Two years ago, they all lost their jobs when the Finance Minister announced the abolition of road tolls.
The government promised to reassign all of them but many of them remain unemployed. Some persons with disabilities who were toll booth workers pass the night at the roads ministry on the second anniversary of their dismissal.
