The Cabinet has approved a proposal presented by the President to eliminate super luxury vehicles that place a significant financial burden on state institutions. This decision will be implemented through a formal, structured procedure.
As part of the plan, the Secretary to the Treasury will issue detailed circular instructions to guide the process.
A formal review has highlighted that the high maintenance and fuel costs associated with certain super luxury vehicles used by state institutions make their continued use economically unfeasible. To address this, a comprehensive assessment of vehicles across all government institutions will be conducted.
Vehicles identified for removal will include those with petrol engines exceeding 1800cc and diesel engines exceeding 2300cc. However, double cabs, single cabs, vans, and buses falling under customs code 87.03 are excluded from this directive.
By March 1, 2025, relevant Chief Accounting Officers will ensure the removal of such vehicles, adhering to the specified procurement procedures. A detailed report on the actions taken will then be submitted to the Comptroller General of the Treasury.
This initiative aims to promote fiscal responsibility and optimize resource allocation within government institutions.
