According to him, each SUV will be used by the three senators representing each state.

“We had a close session and they agreed that we should give one car per state. We sat down and agreed on who among the three senators from each state needs the car most and that was what happened. We are supposed to buy 109 cars but because of our sensitivity to the lack of funds, we bought 36. There is no minister that hasn’t got three cars; there is no director that hasn’t got a Land Cruiser and there is no permanent secretary that hasn’t cars"he said

According to Gobir, the funding for the purchase of the 36 cars came from the 2015 budget.
