Eight State agencies to spend Sh2.5bn on vehicles
Heavy spending on the purchase of vehicles has been a growing problem in the public service, with a policy on government transport developed last year citing a growth in the number of offices and officials entitled to government vehicles among the main reasons.
A small group of eight State entities will spend more than half of the Sh4.6 billion set aside by the government for the purchase of vehicles for 189 public agencies, revealing a continued heavy spending on cars amid pressure to cut purchases for leasing.
