A resolution has been filed calling for an investigation into the sale of Department of Education-procured laptops in surplus stores and allegations of anomalous contracts that led to the irregularity.
House Resolution 950, filed on Tuesday, calls on the House good government and public accounts committee to conduct a probe in aid of legislation of the reports of DepEd laptops being sold in surplus stores in Cebu and Rizal and on Facebook.
Recent controversies in the Department of Education’s purchases of laptops show that government mechanisms to stop corruption are “no longer enough,” a group of education advocates said Monday.
DepEd Undersecretary for Administration Kris Ablan confirmed in a message to Philstar.com that he resigned from his post on April 28, but the reason for doing so "has nothing to do with the laptop or Transpac reports of Rappler," Ablan said.
