Senate President Pro Tempore Ralph Recto on Friday said there should be no more excuse for the government agencies to delay the disbursement of their budgets.

“After having gained experience in budget execution over the past four and half years, which is a lifetime in public administration, agencies can no longer invoke ‘kulang sa praktis ’ when it comes to spending for things the people have paid for with taxes,” Recto said in a statement.

“Rebooting a stalled economy calls for recharged spending. Ang kailangan ng Pilipinas sa susunod na taon ay Operation Warp Speed sa public spending .” Members of the Congress bicameral committee will start next week their differing proposals for the P4.5-trillion government spending plan. Citing government reports, the Senate leader said national government agencies were able to disburse only 68 percent of their total appropriations in 2017, while 77 percent in 2018, and 82 percent in 2019.
