The National Disclosure and Transparency Institution (UDI) has announced plans to pursue a legal claim against a public services company for over 426 million pesos (approximately $21 million USD). The lawsuit seeks to recover funds related to a previous agreement which the company allegedly did not fulfill. According to UDI’s director, the decision to take legal action was motivated by the need to protect taxpayers’ money and ensure accountability of public entities. The public services company has not yet commented on the matter. The case highlights the importance of monitoring and enforcing agreements between government entities and contractors to prevent misuse of public funds. The legal claim also underscores the need for transparency in government dealings to build trust and accountability with the public.
