“Political Will”, hindi emergency powers sa PhilHealth clean-up – Sen. Lacson
Kailangan muna ang strong political will at hindi emergency powers para malinis ng mga tiwali ang Philhealth.
Ito ang sinabi ni Sen. Panfilo Lacson at aniya dahil ang paglikha sa Philhealth ay bunga ng batas na ginawa ng Kongreso, walang kapangyarihan ang pangulo ng bansa sa ahensiya.
Dagdag pa nito, ang emergency power ni Pangulong Duterte ay ibibigay din sa kanya ng Kongreso.
“And if the President’s intention is to cleanse PhilHealth of scalawags and misfits, he may not need that delegated authority anymore as he has the PNP, NBI, DOJ and other instrumentalities of government at his disposal,”sabi pa ng senador.
Sabi pa ni Lacson kahit magagaling ang economic managers ng bansa, kung palpak naman ang health department sa gitna ng pakikipaglaban sa pandemiya, malulunod na ang lahat bago pa man makalangoy patungo sa kaligtasan ang lahat.
Muli sinabi ng senador na makakatulong kung papalitan na ni Pangulong Duterte si Health Sec. Francisco Duque III sa pagsasabing, “ he can fire its ex-officio chairman and replace him with someone even with little above-average leadership traits, competence, honesty and integrity – and who won’t wash his hands but takes full responsibility for what PhilHealth does or fails to do.”
