Over 500 organizations and individuals asked Congress on Thursday to drop all confidential and intelligence funds (CIF) under the proposed 2024 budget and boost spending for public services instead.
Metro Manila — Over 500 organizations and individuals on Thursday asked Congress to drop all confidential and intelligence funds under the proposed 2024 budget and boost spending for public services instead.
The letter was consigned after the Congress said in a joint statement on Sept. 27 that it will be reallocating the confidential and intelligence funds of some agencies to military and security services as a support to the Philippine Coast Guard, National Intelligence Coordinating Agency, and National Security Council."We assert that these confidential funds are sources of corruption and misuse of public funds no matter their legality.
"The Philippines, as a country committed to the renunciation of war as an instrument of national policy, must insist on doing its part to halt the march to war and prioritize instead the just and equitable development of its economy and society," the letter added.
