Allocating confidential and intelligence funds (CIF) to non-security-related government agencies might become a yearly practice if Congress approves their inclusion in the 2023 national budget, Senate Minority Leader Aquilino "Koko" Pimentel III said Wednesday.
Allocating confidential and intelligence funds to non-security-related government agencies might become a yearly practice if Congress approves their inclusion in the 2023 national budget, Senate Minority Leader Aquilino "Koko" Pimentel III said Wednesday.Pimentel issued the warning during the first day of the plenary debates on the 2023 General Appropriations Bill in the upper chamber.The senator said there were at least P9.
Relative to the total budget, that amount is perhaps on the same level," Angara said."At any rate, if it used to be P5 million once upon a time, 10 years ago, as confidential funds of the OVP, and it's now P500 million, so times 100. I don't believe that the budget grew by 100 ," he said.At this point, Pimentel manifested that he will be proposing amendments to reduce the CIF of the said agencies and reallocate these amounts to items, which are needed by the people.
