Press Release August 20, 2021 Poe on COVID-19 fund for 2022: Underspending, delayed and wasteful spending of COVID-19 response fund must have no room in the 2022 budget. Budget that is unspent means services undelivered especially to the poor in dire need during this pandemic. At a time when our people are more reliant than ever on the provision of essential services, government disposition of funds should be efficient, on-target and prompt. Rebooting an economy dampened by the virus calls for vibrant spending up to the last peso authorized by the law. We assure a thorough scrutiny of the proposed budget when it reaches the Senate. |
