The government is installing GPS trackers on 1,300 public vehicles to reduce misuse and improve cost efficiency.
So far, 750 vehicles have been equipped with the tracking devices. The system can disable vehicles during weekends or when idling excessively, enforcing stricter control over government-owned transportation.
The move is based on long-standing recommendations from the government’s Cost Saving Committee. Its goal is to tackle the widespread abuse of public vehicles. The initiative is being implemented through the Assets and Utilities Management Unit and is expected to improve accountability and deliver savings.
