This chairman has urgently demanded S 500 Mercedes in order for him to start his work. The market price of this car is around Rs. 50 million.
When the senior officers inquired why he is demanding a Benz car the chairman has said since there are foreigners often visiting this institution it is good to have a Benz car to their visibility. The officials are questioning is the chairman convene meetings inside the car.
