Roxas hit over P7B fund mess at DILG

Liberal Party (LP) standard-bearer Manuel “Mar” Roxas 2nd was accused of mismanaging government funds when he was the secretary of the Department of Interior and Local Government after the Commission on Audit (COA) discovered more than P7 billion in fund transfers that remain unliquidated.

According to United Nationalist Alliance (UNA) spokesman Mon Ilagan, state auditors included the findings in COA’s latest annual audit report, which showed that fund transfers during Roxas’ term amounting to a whopping 7.040 billion were questioned “due to non-monitoring of liquidations and submission of financial reports.”
