The Navajo Nation is considering a request to bar employees from driving tribal vehicles to and from work, a spokesperson for President Joe Shirley Jr. said.

The tribe allows employees to take the vehicles home for security concerns. The spokesperson said the vehicles are vandalized if they are left in parking lots.

But Navajo Nation Council Delegate Ernest Yazzie Jr. said the tribe is wasting money and employees are abusing their privileges. He is calling for an executive order to bar all employees, except for public safety personnel, from driving tribal vehicles to and from work.
