The provincial government’s campaign against the mis-use of government vehicles is continuing without letup.
Provincial Attorney Casiano Lomotos Jr. told Dumaguete reporters in a press conference last Thursday that his office has been investigating all reports of government vehicles which are seen roaming the streets outside of office hours.{{more}}
Lomotos said that his office has received four complaints from concerned citizens about vehicles either seen in inappropriate places or being used for personal purposes.
The investigation was ordered by Vice Gov. Roel Degamo after a government vehicle was seen parked inside a motel in Sibulan, Negros Oriental some two months ago.
“Unfortunately, no witnesses have come forward and we also do not have the plate number of the said vehicle,” Lomotos said.
Drivers of other vehicles whose plate numbers have been identified have already been made to submit their explanation as to why they were using the vehicle for personal purposes or outside of office hours, Lomotos said.
The Province is also conducting an inventory of the 101 multicabs bought by the Province out of the congressional funds of then Rep. Emilio Macias II.
