The directive puts restrictions on Ethiopian officials’ use of high-powered automobiles while traveling within Addis Ababa. These expensive vehicles will instead be used for travels outside the capital, and will be authorized only for field-work by the officials. Ethiopian public officials are also barred from using cars which are purchased for projects financed by donations or loans. Therefore, Ethiopian officials can use only up to 135 liters of benzene per month. In related news, MoFEC has ordered the Public Procurement and Property Service to purchase 178 different vehicles, including ambulances and buses.
