MANILA, Philippines — Malacañang on Tuesday said it will order an investigation into the alleged “overpriced” radar speed guns procured by the Philippine National Police (PNP). ADVERTISEMENTPresident Rodrigo Duterte has already removed the police force’s procurement power upon getting information that the purchase was overpriced. Duterte earlier disclosed that he called Interior Secretary Eduardo Año to be the procurement authority for the police force after he found out the PNP tried to buy radar speed guns for P950,000 per unit. The President said the radar speed guns only cost the Davao city government P10,000 per unit, way cheaper than the ones procured by the PNP. In Davao City, it cost them only P10,000,” Panelo said.
