Officials warned over improper vehicle use
07 January 2019 | 09:41 ICT
A Ministry of Rural Development spokesperson claimed the ministry will withdraw state vehicles from officers who continue to use them improperly, such as using them outside working hours.

Minister of Rural Development Ouk Rabun said officers are prohibited from using vehicles that carry government registration plates to visit places such as entertainment centres, KTV and massage parlours outside working hours.

Ministry of Rural Development spokesman Chan Darong told The Post on Sunday that action was being taken to protect state property and that officials had been ordered to use such property correctly.

“The ban on using state vehicles outside of official hours is now effective as the order has been given."

“For the officers who violate the state vehicles, we will talk to them once or twice. If they still don’t listen, we will take away their vehicles,” Darong said.

The statement was signed by Ouk Rabun on December 27. It said the measure intended to increase efficiency in the use of state vehicles, as well as improve the reputation of government officers and entities.

The business model for the police is probably; as long as tea money is provided the count never goes past #1
