REPLY:
No;
a) Both the Minister and the Deputy Minister have not purchased new
vehicles and both inherited the vehicles used by their predecessors in
Pretoria and Cape Town.
A decision on the purchasing of new vehicles will only be made when
the current contracts and or prescribed mileage in respect of each
vehicle has been reached during 2010, in line with the guidelines set
out in the Ministerial Handbook.
(b) We have not done a valuation of any of the four (4) cars used by the
Minister and the Deputy Minister which have been inherited (from our
predecessors) and will not be doing any in the near future, at least
until we believe that the cars have run their Ministerial Handbook
determined timelines.[pic][pic][pic][pic][pic][pic]
