View answerMy Department uses the services of two taxi companies. A policy on the use of taxis is in place in my Department which has been circulated to all staff in the Department. The use of taxis in my Department is permissible only for use on official business, usually where other means of transport e.g. public transport, are not available or suitable for the purposes required. The following table details the amount spent by my Department in 2007 and 2008 on taxi services.
