The League of Municipalities Visayas Island Cluster calls on the Commission on Audit to assign auditors to municipalities in order to facilitate faster delivery of basic services.
The Visayas Island mayors noted that in the recent issuance of Memo Circular by COA on selective pre-auditing of government transactions, many municipalities encountered difficulties in disbursing their local funds that resulted in the delay of transactions.
The Mayors also observed that the COA auditors assigned to municipalities only go to their assignments periodically.
This prompted the LMP Visayas Island Cluster Conference to pass a Resolution to ask COA to assign an Auditor in every Municipality or in every cluster of three municipalities provided the auditor will frequently visit the assigned municipality. (PIA)

GAWAS sa kamatayon o diskwalipikasyon na lamang mamahimong pulihan ang usa ka kandidato, kini maoy sugyot sa Commission on Elections (Comelec) samtang ipatuman ang automated elections sa 2010.
Kini usab aron ka-amendahan na sa Kongreso ang balaod subay ning hisgutanan.
Sa Omnibus Election law, ang ngalan sa ipuli kinahanglang isuwat kinamot, apan kini mahimong dili mabasa sa makina ug mamahimo na hinuong suliran, butyag ni Commissioner Jose Melo.
Sa samang balaod, mahimong kapulihan ang kandidato sa adlaw sa piliay.
Apan sa sugyot sa COMELEC, kon dili lang sa hisgutanan sa kamatayon o diskwalipikasyon, dili na mapulihan ang kandidatong nakalista. (PIA)
