PSP acts on government vehicle abuse

Friday, May 23, 2008

In response to rising concern about the misuse of government vehicles by officials and drivers, the Permanent Secretary to the President, Eric Molale, has circulated a directive to all ministries and departments warning them against the continued misuse of government vehicles for the transporting, without authority, of officers to work, children to school, shopping trips and other private errands.

Molale has also expressed his concern about reports of overspeeding and other road infractions on the part of government drivers, further observing that:
