At least they're being frugal!
Documents procured under the Access to Information Act revealed that on September 25, 2007, Mullings requested a 2008 Toyota Land Cruiser. A month later, after approval was granted, the minister had a "change of mind" and requested the Benz instead.
"Our procurement members have supported/endorsed the change, as the cost for this vehicle is less than the one which was previouslyapproved," read a section of a missive addressed to the financial secretary.
The vehicle, which at the time had an approximate market value of $5.35 million, cost tax-payers an estimated $2.95 million, which was $662 less than the 2008 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado bought for Karl Samuda.
This is what most impressed me about the entire story.... Mullings' commitment to saving taxpayer dollars .... even if it's US$10 .... he is to be congratulated.... not criticised!
