LGUs at Bohol fail to liquidate rehabilitation funds after the P154-M earthquake

 


The Audit Committee (COA) blamed the Bohol County Government for not liquidating the Bohol Earthquake Assistance Fund by the majority of the 27 municipalities that received various amounts.

In the 2019 annual audit report for Bohol County, the Agriculture Committee said that the failure to liquidate could be attributed to a lack of policies and procedures on liquidation requirements.

The auditors also noted that there is likewise no clear policy or procedures within the regional accounting office “to deal with and record liquidation reports submitted by the implementing LGUs.”

State observers said that such an absence of policies and procedures deprived the county government of “the checks and balances that would normally follow” for the proper accounting of money transfers.

Also, application letters requesting liquidation documents were not sent to LGUs, which received funds to help rehabilitate areas devastated by a magnitude 7.1 earthquake in 2013.

In response to the audit note, the RAC explained that while it failed to send formal notices or request letters to the LGUs concerned, it nonetheless regularly issues the fund control ledger or summary of advances to LGUs.

In the same review report, the COAG also criticized the provincial government for its delay in implementing subprojects of the Global Environment Facility – Marine Protected Areas (GEF-MPA).

The government audit agency said that the total of 14,744,008 pesos, or “2,100 percent of the total funds” received by the county, was not used, and therefore, the provisions of the Implementation Management Agreement between the Ministry of Agriculture and Bohol have not been implemented.

The auditors said the project was funded by a loan from the World Bank, with a portion of the fund granted through the Global Environment Facility (GEF).

Bohol was reported to have received the funds early on February 20, 2018.

The Agriculture Committee said: “The delay in implementing sub-projects for the I-REAP GEF Program for Marine Protected Areas has prevented the achievement of the GEF sub-project objectives during the period.”

The audit agency also stated: “With implementation delays, fishermen were deprived of the benefits they might have reaped from the project.”

In response to the Agriculture Committee’s note, the provincial government clarified that the funds had not been spent due to the failure of bidding for the contract covering the project.
