President Duterte is willing to appear before Congress and discuss his “almost radical” proposal to cut corruption and further simplify government processes to ensure the ease of doing business in the country.In a public address aired over state television Monday night, the President has asked for the lawmakers’ support to pass a legislation that will address red tape and corruption in the bureaucracy.
In his remarks, Duterte said Congress may introduce a bill that will compel government agencies to act on applications or requests within three days to a week. He said he was certain that the concerned agencies could complete the task during this period. He said he would not hesitate to “shame” any office that has not acted on applications for two years.
Duterte also urged anew the public to report complaints about red tape and corruption to his office. He said they can send him letters and promised to read them. The erring public official will then be summoned to a meeting with the President so he or she can explain his side.
So Parliamentary system with extra steps? OusttheSystem CoRRECTtheConstitution TagThemRed
So Duterte knows better than the congress how to cut corruption in the Philippines. Congress might instead look/check cabinet members and cronies financial accounts.🧐
In parliamentary form of government the leader of the country appearing before the legislature would have been a regular occurrence.
