The Presidential Secretariat has launched the second phase of its vehicle auction, offering 27 luxury and decommissioned vehicles for public bidding, in a move aimed at promoting fiscal responsibility and reducing government expenditure.

- 2 Land Rover SUVs
- 1 Mitsubishi Montero
- 3 Nissan petrol cars
- 2 Nissan-type motor cars

Tender documents can be obtained from the Finance Division on the second floor of the Sema Building at the Presidential Secretariat, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on working days until May 14. Interested bidders may inspect the vehicles at the Salusala premises, No. 93, Jawatte Road, during the same period.
This phase follows the successful first round of auctions, which saw the sale of 14 luxury vehicles, six decommissioned vehicles, and various spare parts, including nine Defender Jeeps.
According to officials, the vehicles being auctioned were not assigned to Presidential Secretariat staff, but were instead used by advisors and appointees under Article 41(1) of the Constitution during the tenure of the former President.
