Final day of government vehicle audit

Public officers who have been assigned government-owned vehicles have until the
end of today (Friday, June 30) to have the vehicles they are driving, included in the
government audit.
The verification audit is being conducted due to the many persons who continue to
drive government-owned vehicles long after they ought not to.
The Ministry of Works has announced plans to streamline the government’s
expenditure on vehicles and therefore has found it fit to conduct the audit. A senior
government official noted that expenditures on government-owned vehicles are
quite substantial as these include annual insurance, fuel, and the replacement of
parts.
There are close to twelve hundred government-owned vehicles of all types. But
with one day to go, it is unclear just how successful the audit has been at this stage.
“Those employees who are driving Government-owned vehicles and have not
taken them to the vehicle inspection station are advised to do so today, at the Sir
Vivian Richards Stadium where the audit is taking place,” said the government
official.
