The New York State Inspector General found that New York State Department of Transportation (DOT) Transportation Analyst Edwin Kaliku misused state resources to further his personal business interests. Specifically, Kaliku used DOT e-mail systems to engage in the shipment of automobiles and other items to Nigeria, despite earlier formal administrative admonishments by DOT to forego improper use of state resources. Kaliku was also found to have failed to report a prior criminal conviction on his DOT employment application. The Inspector General recommends that DOT take appropriate disciplinary action for Kaliku’s misuse of state resources and failure to report his prior criminal conviction.
