A massive overhaul of the current system in corruption-prone government agencies is needed to clean up the bureaucracy, Presidential Anti-Corruption Commission (PACC) head Dante Jimenez said on Thursday. The PACC chief then called on the public to throw its full support to the government’s campaign for good governance and accountability. The President has ordered the Department of Justice (DoJ) to lead a mega task force to investigate corruption in all government agencies. The task force had set parameters to determine which allegations would be considered. The PACC, according to Jimenez, was also monitoring reports of rigged biddings allegedly being arranged by some politicians with various DPWH regional offices.
