Vehicles owned by central Government must be duly audited or they will be refused fuel and maintenance services in the first instance, the Ministry of Works and Housing has announced.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

This position is being taken by the Government of Antigua and Barbuda as plans are underway to implement processes to effectively monitor and maintain the fleet of public sector vehicles.<\/p>\n

“A Government vehicle audit will take place from Monday 30th<\/sup> April, 2018 to Friday 4th<\/sup> May, 2018 at the Sir. Vivian Richards Cricket Stadium between the hours of 8:30am to 4:00pm daily,” the ministry said in a release.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Permanent Secretary within the Ministry of Works, and Chairman of the Vehicles Use and Management Policy Advisory Committee Mr. Clarence E Pilgrim, said:\u201cthere are reports that some of the vehicles in the public sector fleet are not being properly managed, and the Ministry will be taking aggressive action against instances where public sector fleet vehicles are misused or abused.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u201cThe audit of Government vehicles seeks to address all aspects of public sector fleet management to determine the physical status and effectiveness of the assigned vehicles that are in the Government fleet, and to efficiently manage the present resources in an effort to plan for future assignments and maintenance of the vehicles,” he added..<\/p>\n
