Officials behind the questioned sale of rice stocks of the NFA to traders made the agency's quality assurance officer declare good inventory to be in bad condition to drive down its price.
NFA quality lab told to pass off good rice as bad, says TulfoOfficials behind the questioned sale of rice stocks of the National Food Authority to certain traders made the agency's quality assurance officer declare good inventory to be in bad condition to drive down its price, Senator Raffy Tulfo said on Monday.In a privileged speech, Tulfo decried how the NFA could sell 150,000 bags of good rice to traders while scrimping on the purchase requests of local government units.
He mentioned how the province of Isabela requested to buy 10,000 bags of rice but was only given 3,000 by the agency."Grabe na ang garapalan sa NFA. Imagine, nagbenta ng 150,000 bags of good rice tapos yung mga nangangailangan na ahensya tinitipid nila. Ito po ang ginawa nila sa probinsya ng Isabela," Tulfo said.Tulfo said Governor Rodolfo Albano had informed him of their request from NFA to purchase 10,000 bags of rice for their constituents but they were only given 3,000 bags.
