While signing a contract with Geo Cal Company yesterday, Prime Minister Carlot Salwai said every year there is an issue with overspending involving government vehicles.

He said he hopes with the GPS there will be more control over the use of government vehicles.

 Mr Salwai also signed a contract with Au Bon Marche to distribute fuel for government vehicles.

He said every year there will always be more fuel costs than the budget for a department.

Qualcomm's new mobile platform, unveiled Monday, will bring 4G LTE connectivity and services to entry-level (or "dumb") phones. It's designed for phone makers whose target customers don't have access to affordable smartphones, including emerging regions in India, Latin America and Southeast Asia.

"Feature phones are a lifeline in many emerging countries," Kedar Kondap, vice president of product management at Qualcomm Technologies, said in a statement.
