Vanuatu govt crackdown on vehicle misuse

According to RNZI, Minister of Infrastructure and Public Utilities, Jotham Napat said politicians were hiring rental cars unnecessarily, using government cars outside of work time, and spending money on fuel excessively.

He said an audit revealed they could save just over nine million US Dollars over the next 5 years if they implemented the recommendations made.

"Politicians and the civil servants they're taking advantage, because they were given cars and they took the liberty to use it, abuse it," Mr Napat said.
