To
prevent rehabilitation funds from ending up in private pockets.
Office
on Presidential Assistant for Rehabilitation and Recovery (OPARR) in Aklan
calls for an investigation for what it called ‘irregularities’ in the
distribution of Emergency Shelter Assistance (ESA) in the province of Aklan.
According
to OPARR-Aklan Legal Consultant Atty. Benny Salazar, he urged the National
Bureau of Investigation (NBI) to conduct parallel investigation to ensure that
the right beneficiaries will receive the Typhoon Yolanda shelter assistance.
In
addition he also advised the public to file their complaints with OPARR
regarding problems encountered on shelter aid distribution in the barangays.
A
report also says, that many senior citizens and persons with disabilities, who
are typhoon survivors, also complained in local radio stations that they were
excluded in the list of ESA beneficiaries.
Salazar
said monitoring and evaluation team should be in place to ensure the delivery
of quality and timeliness of ESA is correctly distributed.
