LGUs
know best how to implement infrastructure projects funded
solely from the local coffers.
After almost two years, the national government has not yet
taken action on one of the major advocacies of the league
to allow LGUs to decide whether to bid out or undertake by
administration infrastructure projects funded solely by LGUs
regardless of the project cost.
Southern Leyte Gov. Rosette Y. Lerias sponsored a resolution
reiterating the LPP’s request for Pres. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo
to suspend the implementation of the Government Procurement
Policy Board Resolution No. 013-2005 dated 15 August 2005
with respect to LGUs.
While GPPB Resolution No. 013-2005 allows government agencies
to undertake infrastructure projects by administration, it
has set a limit of P2 million.
Lerias said that the league has already requested for the
suspension of the implementation of the GPPB resolution, and
leave it to the LGU to decide on whether to bid out or undertake
by administration infrastructure projects to be paid for solely
by local funds, but this has remained pending before the NEDA
Board Regional Committee since 2005.
Lerias
added that, “the application of said GPPB Resolution
has prejudiced the implementation of procurement programs
and infrastructure projects of LGUs.” (AJS)
