POLITICS & POLICY MAKING
The Sindh government has initiated preparations to acquire luxury vehicles for Assistant Commissioners appointed across the province. The General Administration Department has formally requested 2 billion rupees from the Finance Department for this purpose.
According to the letter sent to the Finance Department, the government plans to purchase 138 4x4 double cabin vehicles. These high-end vehicles are intended to be allocated to Assistant Commissioners, who will use them in the course of their official duties.
The cost of each vehicle is reported to exceed one crore rupees, raising questions about the use of public funds for such expenditures. The decision reflects a significant investment in administrative resources, aimed at enhancing mobility and efficiency for key officials.
The request for funds underscores the Sindh government's commitment to equipping its administrative staff with the latest resources, although the expenditure has generated debate over its necessity and impact on public finances.
As the Finance Department reviews the request, the outcome will determine whether this luxury vehicle acquisition plan proceeds. Public opinion is expected to remain a critical factor in the ongoing discussion about the allocation of government funds for administrative purposes.
