The said vehicles include Toyota Camry, Toyota Corolla, Toyota Avensis, Hyundai Accent, Hyundai i10 and Nissan Sentra.

However, all personnel who purchased the vehicles have now been asked to return the cars for a refund of their monies.

A letter from the Presidency to the Chief of Defence Staff said the military men involved have up to September 7 to return the vehicles to the Military High Command.

Dated August 6, 2018, the letter explained the military service personnel were not entitled to “such [end of service] privilege”.

The Presidency said such entitlement is only accorded to “political appointees”.

“All documents relating to the sale/purchase of the vehicles should be provided to enable refund to be effected,” sections of the letter read.
