Former Department of Social Welfare and
Development (DSWD) Sec. Dinky Soliman should be QUESTIONED AT ONCE on the
P15-billion UNLIQUIDATED FUNDS of the agency DURING HER TERM!
A story in inquirer.net (http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/933745/dswd-unliquidated-funds-feeding-program-lgus-budget-deliberation)
revealed that the P15-billion had been given to local government units (LGU).
But still, DINKY HAS A MOUNTAIN OF EXPLANATION TO DO.
First: WHY and HOW did the unliquidated
monies reach P15 billion? Surely, there had been SIGNS OF NON-ACCOUNTING by LGU
beneficiaries early in the disbursements. But it now appears that RELEASES OF THE FUNDS
CONTINUED. Why? Second: Dinky was the DSWD big boss, DID SHE DO ANYTHING at all
to prevent the unliquidated funds from reaching P15 billion? If yes, what and
if none, why? She had better NOT HAVE THE NERVE to say she never knew about it.
Unless she would admit to being an INUTILE DSWD secretary.
Third: The story said the P15 billion accumulated
in a span of six years. WAS ANYBODY in the DSWD ever probed or even asked to
explain on the continued releases of the funds despite non-liquidations? If yes, who and what happened? If none, why? A
DSWD undersecretary was quoted in the story as saying that a mayor’s loss in the election, resignation of the
employee responsible for the liquidation of the funds and problems with receipts
were among the reasons given by LGUs for non-accounting of the funds. So did the DSWD conduct THOROUGH AND COMPREHENSIVE verifications of these
alibis? If yes, what were the results? If no, why?
Fourth: Was any LGU ever
sanctioned or penalized in any manner in those six years? Who and in what way
if yes and why if none? Fifth: Why was
this mess NEVER HIGHLY PUBLICIZED? I don’t recall having read or heard about
this during Dinky’s six-year DSWD stint. Anybody correct me if I’m wrong. We, the people,
should have known about this at once. DSWD’s funds come FROM OUR TAXES. It’s OUR
MONEY.
I can think of a lot more but in a folo-up
blog. Anybody is welcome to comment. 30
