MANILA, Philippines – The Commission on Audit has issued a issued a notice of disallowance against the Imus City government’s procurement of e-trikes in 2020, citing numerous irregularities, including full payment prior to delivery.

The audit found out that the full payment was released on September 28, 2021 . But a spot inspection by the audit team found that 40 e-trikes were delivered only from December 28, 2021 to January 7, 2022.State auditors noted that the Acceptance and Inspection Report was pre-dated by almost a whole year from actual delivery.
