Cabinet approval has been granted for the disposal of expensive vehicles burdening Government institutions, Cabinet Spokesman, Health and Mass Media Minister Dr. Nalinda Jayathissa said.
Considering the high costs associated with maintaining and fuelling certain vehicles used in government institutions, it has been determined that their disposal would be more cost-effective.
Consequently, the Cabinet of Ministers has approved a proposal by President Anura Kumara Dissanayake, granting the Secretary to the Treasury the authority to issue relevant circulars and instructions.
These measures aim to report to the Comptroller General of the General Treasury and ensure the disposal of these luxury vehicles by March 1, 2025.
The process will follow the prescribed procurement procedures and apply to petrol vehicles with engine capacities exceeding 1800cc and diesel vehicles above 2300cc (excluding single cabs, vans and buses) under the Customs Code 87.03.
This decision will be based on a comprehensive assessment of the vehicles currently in use across all government institutions.
