The interim government has taken a decision to find out how many vehicles and cars it owns and to ascertain the actual condition of those vehicles.
The decision was taken on Monday at the 3rd ECNEC meeting of the current financial year held at the chief adviser鈥檚 office in Dhaka with chief adviser professor Muhammad Yunus in chair.
Planning adviser Wahiduddin Mahmud revealed the decision while briefing reporters at the NEC conference room about the outcomes of the meeting.
He said that there were so many vehicles of the government and every project had a huge number of vehicles of its own.
鈥楢fter completion of the projects where these vehicles go?鈥� he questioned.
鈥楳any people said after completing the projects, these vehicles remain as left over. Again other ministries took over these vehicles, a public servant holds 3 to 4 vehicles under his/her jurisdiction,鈥� he said.
The adviser also mentioned that these vehicles did not last long like the personally procured vehicles. 鈥楤ut, the longevity of government鈥檚 vehicles is not like the personal ones and that is another problem.鈥�
He said that the advisers in the day鈥檚 ECNEC meeting had taken a decision to figure out how many vehicles were there for the government in the country starting from upazila level.
鈥楾he government has decided to use those vehicles in other government offices which would be cost effective and thus save public fund,鈥� the adviser added.
