No more private vehicles for state bodies
View(s):Contracts for private vehicles that were obtained by government agencies under the operational leasing method will not be extended in future once existing agreements for five years lapsed, a circular from the Treasury said.
Issuing a circular to ministry secretaries, provincial councils chief secretaries, departments and state institution heads, Treasury Secretary S. R. Attygalle has said the decision not to extend the vehicle contracts was taken in keeping with the January 18 Cabinet memorandum.
In the event any shortage of essential vehicles occurs, the circular added that heads of institutions should submit a request to the Treasury with the recommendation of the relevant chief accounting officer.
Earlier, the Treasury issued a separate directive to government agencies, instruction them to speed up the disposal or repair of state-owned vehicles not in running condition.
Based on the directive, some 4,800 state-owned vehicles are to be disposed of by April 30 while 3,229 vehicles are to be repaired. So far, 844 vehicles have been repaired and 620 disposed. There are about 82,194 state owned vehicles in the country.
Vehicles not in running condition were to be either repaired or disposed of by December 31, 2020 but the deadline was later extended to April 30.
