Ifugao town regulates fund transfer to b’gays
By Marcelo L. Lihgawon
LAGAWE, Ifugao -- The Sangguniang Bayan here has enacted a law governing all municipal local government unit funds to be fund transferred to barangays of the municipality.
Known as the “Fund Transfer Ordinance of Lagawe” and authored by councilor Noel Campul, it provides guidelines and limitations in transferring LGU funds to barangay local governments.
Campul said there are projects in the barangay funded by the municipal funds that need close supervision and monitoring for its project proper implementation.
The ordinance explained that the only projects and programs that can be fund transferred to the barangay are livelihood projects and programs, aid to barangays and organizations, and infrastructure projects worth P50,000 below.
Fund transfer will only start when the SB authorizes the municipal mayor to enter into a memorandum of agreement to the concerned barangay specifying both the responsibility of the MLGU and BLGU to ensure the proper implementation of a specific program and project. -- PIA
