Her comments follow a Tuesday, July 15, 2025 order from the President demanding cancellation of all fuel allocations to government appointees, as well as digital TV subscriptions and other related benefits previously funded by the state.
In a post on her social media handles Tuesday, July 15, Madam Mogtari lauded the President’s commitment towards protecting the public purse.
She said “this is very refreshing news.” “Scrapping fuel allowances and allocations to government appointees, scrapping DSTV and other small amenities is how we build a more equitable society. The President is seriously protecting the public purse,” she posted.
She noted that further details on the financial implications of the scrapping will be provided later.
“The Energy Minister will speak to the figures when he takes his turn on the government’s schedule,” she added, suggesting that a more comprehensive breakdown of the cost-saving measures is expected soon.
