Lacson: Let Pinoys report other corrupt infrastructure projects
Senate President Pro Tempore Panfilo "Ping" Lacson supports the expanded mandate of the Independent Commission for Infrastructure (ICI) to oversee all government infrastructure projects, not just flood control.
Lacson stated that the ICI's broadened scope is a positive development that will enhance transparency and accountability in government infrastructure programs.
He suggested updating the sumbongsapangulo.ph website to align with the ICI's expanded coverage.
Lacson also proposed that the website should provide comprehensive data on funding for all infrastructure projects across all agencies, from the National Expenditure Program to the General Appropriations Act.
Furthermore, he recommended that the website should disclose the names of proponents of congressional amendments or insertions and track the complete lifecycle of projects.
