COA alarmed at delays in PAF procurements

From Malaya (Dec 10): COA alarmed at delays in PAF procurements

SOME P21.44 million worth of combat clothing and individual equipment (CCIE) purchased by the Philippine Air Force (PAF) three to five years ago from the Procurement Service, an agency under the Department of Budget and Management, has yet to be delivered. A Commission on Audit report noted that P15.6 million undelivered CCIE was already fully paid for while the remaining P5.84 million dated back to five years. Despite PS-DBM’s bad track record, the military service still increased its orders to P74.47 million worth of CCIE in 2011. By the time of the audit, however, only P23.37 million of the 2011 orders had been delivered. PS-DBM was created in 1978 supposedly to promote a “most economic and efficient” purchase and delivery of common-use supplies of the national government and its agencies.
