GRAFT AND CORRUPTION THROUGH RH LAW!

In case you missed it, I  had pointed out in an earlier blog that a staggering P21 BILLION has been allocated by PNoy’s government for reproductive health (RH).

Now, since PNoy has signed the RH bill into law, allow me to repost excerpts, and some additions, from one of our previous blogs on opportunities for GRAFT AND CORRUPTION in the implementation of the measure.

Once the P21 billion is spent, what happens next? Will there be a ceiling or cap for the spending? Or will it be an ETERNAL EXPENDITURE by the government? In which case, will any public health program or service be SACRIFICED?

If yes, WHAT and WHY?

WHO are the prospective SUPPLIERS of the contraceptives and other items on which the P21 BILLION would be spent?

Do they have LINKS, and I mean any at all, TO PNOY and HIS SISTERS OR RELATIVES,  to any Malacanang or government official or to any senator or congressman/woman who actively supported the passage of the bill?

And what I mean by any link whatsoever is whether as classmates, personal friends, former employers or bosses or co-workers, former teachers or professors or boyfriends/girlfriends, or distant relatives even to the 5^th or 6^th  degree or relatives of in-laws  of any or all of the above.

By this time, business proposals have been surely submitted by the prospective suppliers, or bidders. The people should immediately know who these businessmen are.

For all we know, they are all known cronies or friends of the Aquino Government.

The DoH should reveal the details (especially the prices of the goods), the terms and conditions, officials and personnel who will run the program and be accountable for everything about it, including the funds and safety nets against graft and corruption and theft of the money.

So that we, the people, will know who to run after in case something questionable or anomalous comes up in the implementation of the RH law.

And last, but definitely not the least, the DoH should immediately publicize the schedule or lineup of to whom or where will the RH law and its freebies will be implemented, first.

We must have an assurance that prioritization will be based on the gravity of the need of the area and beneficiaries, and NOT ON WHETHER OR NOT THEY ARE PRO OR ANTI-PNOY.

Especially considering the fact that the 2013 elections ARE FAST APPROACHING, and the contraceptives and other items to be used in the program can be VERY GOD CAMPAIGN MATERIALS BY GOVERNMENT-SUPPORTED CANDIDATES/

In case RH law items are used by government supported candidates, what will bappen to the candidate? . This is not a long shot, boys and girls. PNoy’s senatorial bets, for one, are LOSING to opposition candidates in various polls.

Don’t take this lightly, guys. We’re talking about P21 BILLION HERE. OUR HARD-EARNED TAXES and payments for government services. OUR MONEY.30
