Malacanang has asked the public to report any unofficial use of government vehicles as part of the government’s intensified energy-saving and anti-graft and corruption campaigns.
The call was contained in Administrative Order no. 239, signed by President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, which prohibits all the government agencies and offices on the use of government vehicles for purposes other than official business.
The report shall contain, among others, the type of vehicles, plate number, and the place and time where the government vehicle is found, preferably with pictures.
The Land Transportation Office (LTO) is also enjoined to closely coordinate and render assistance for the prompt implementation of the directive, particularly in the identification of the reported government vehicles.
Anyone found violating any of the provisions of the order, shall be sternly dealt with in accordance with existing laws, rules and regulations. (PIA/Bohol)
