Gatchalian suggests new DPWH with new employees amid corruption issues
Senator Sherwin Gatchalian proposes the creation of a new Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) with new personnel, suggesting the existing agency is beyond repair.
Gatchalian believes establishing a new agency would be more efficient than reforming the current DPWH, which he cited as having pervasive corruption.
He mentioned 'ghost flood control projects' as evidence of rampant corruption within the DPWH.
This proposal follows recent scrutiny of the DPWH concerning alleged involvement of its local officials in anomalous projects.
However, Gatchalian clarified that this idea is not an official proposal yet, as many factors need consideration.
