WHICH GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL IS ALLOWED TO TRAVEL FIRST CLASS, BUSINESS CLASS OR ECONOMY CLASS: The class and type of travel of government officials either by air, railway or water is provided for by the Public Order Standing Orders. Under this law for example, a Chief Justice is only allowed to fly first class. It reads as follows; The classes of transport for public officers travelling at public expense by air, railway, water shall be as follows:- (a) the Chief Justice, Deputy Chief Justice, Principal Judge and Heads of Mission abroad, by first class; (b) Head of Public Service, Deputy Head of Public Service, Specified Officers and Permanent Secretaries by club class; and (c) all other public officers by economy class. So next time you see a government official flying First class and is not supposed to, tell him/ her what he/she is doing is unlawful and could amount to a misuse of government resources for which he/ she could be penalized. Holla at BarefootLaw if you wish to know what class of travel your boss is entitled to.
