Central government to put official cars up for auction
Print Edition
THE central government has impounded 3,184 official vehicles and plans to auction the first 300 before the Spring Festival, the National Government Offices Administration said yesterday.
Three assessment agencies have been contracted to evaluate the condition of the cars and to verify their legal documentation before they are auctioned, the administration said.
The first batch will be auctioned before Chinese New Year, which falls on February 19 this year, the statement said.
The official cars were taken out of service as part of reform measures launched last July aimed at cutting spending in this area.
Under the guidelines, government vehicles can only be used for special services, such as intelligence communication and emergencies, and not regular government affairs.
Three Beijing-based auction houses will handle the auctions.
Xu Yongsheng, deputy head of the NGOA’s state assets management division, said that the money raised will go to the central treasury.
The process will be closely watched by the auditing agency, discipline inspection agency and the public, Xu added.
