The proposal to abolish the controversial PS-DBM and the PITC is “worth looking at,” Finance Secretary Carlos Dominguez III said. | cgonzalesINQ
“I think all agencies in government—all agencies—should be regularly reviewed for possible abolition, in the same way that we do in the GCG which is the Governance Commission on GOCCs . So I think it’s a good idea to review all government agencies,” he added.
Dominguez was responding to the question of Senator Imee Marcos on the DOF’s opinion on the proposed abolition of the PS-DBM and PITC when he made this remark. “I just filed a bill abolishing both [PS-DBM and PITC] and I was hopeful the DOF will have a look at it so we can rightsize,” Marcos then responded. Dominguez said he will take a close look at the bills filed by Marcos on the matter.
The senator earlier filed separate measures seeking to abolish both the PS-DBM and PITC to address the “systemic corruption” in these agencies.noted that the mandate of PS-DBM became “archaic and irrelevant” while PITC has weakened with the passage of Republic Act No. 9184 or the Government Procurement Reform Act, which already strengthens the procurement service of national government agencies.
