The Presidential Secretariat conducted the second phase of its luxury vehicle auction today (15 May), with 26 vehicles, including both luxury and decommissioned models, up for bidding.

The vehicles being auctioned were manufactured within the last ten years. The deadline for submitting bids closed yesterday (14 May).

The list includes one BMW car, two Ford Everest jeeps, one Hyundai Terracan jeep, two Land Rover jeeps, one Mitsubishi Montero, three Nissan Patrol vehicles, two Nissan cars, one Porsche Cayenne, five SsangYong Rexton jeeps, one Toyota Land Cruiser Sahara, six V08 vehicles, and one Mitsubishi Rosa air-conditioned bus.

The vehicles were used by advisors and staff appointed by the former President under Article 41(1) of the Constitution. They are not part of the official vehicle fleet assigned to the regular staff of the Presidential Secretariat.

In the first phase of the auction, 15 vehicles—including nine Defender jeeps—were sold, along with six decommissioned vehicles and various spare parts. The initiative is part of the government’s effort to reduce expenditure and improve financial management.
