First Phase of President’s Office Luxury Vehicle Auction Begins

The auction for 14 luxury vehicles belonging to the President’s Office, six decommissioned vehicles, and various spare parts was held recently.

This decision was made to reduce government expenditure and promote financial accountability.

Accordingly, 15 vehicles were auctioned yesterday, including nine Defender Jeeps, one Volvo Jeep, a Chrysler car, a Mahindra Bolero, a Rosa bus, a Discovery vehicle, and a Toyota car.

The auction for the remaining vehicles is scheduled to take place soon.

These vehicles were not those allocated to the permanent staff of the Presidential Secretariat but were used by advisors and personnel appointed under Article 41(1) of the Constitution by the former President during his tenure.

There was significant demand for these vehicles.

Bidding submissions were accepted until noon, and bids opened until 8 p.m.

Approximately 199 business personnel participated in the event.
