The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Coordination Authority is winding up, says chief executive Christopher Hawkins.
Hawkins said once the disposal of assets was completed and the finances done, he would submit a report to Apec Minister Justin Tkatchenko.
“Apec concluded in November last year. Under the (legislation), all assets are being transferred to the department of finance for full disposal,” he said.
He said of four vehicles reported missing last week, two have been located and one was being tracked down.
“That means we cannot account for only one vehicle,” he said.
“Out of more than 400 vehicles we have for Apec, to have one missing is unfortunate. But I think it’s better than what we would have expected.”
He said the process was if a vehicle was not returned, “I write to the commissioner to seek police intervention”.
“At this point there’s only one that I’m concerned about,” he said.
“Twenty are with the Joint Security Task Force and some are still being used for Apec wind-up activities.
“In total, there are about 125 vehicles in police custody and in the process of being returned.”
