MANILA: State auditors will soon require geotagging for all government infrastructure projects to eliminate ghost projects and ensure that all public funds are properly used amid allegations of kickbacks from faulty flood-control projects.
The Commission on Audit (COA), in a statement last Sunday (Nov 30) that was only publicszed on Tuesday, said it was “fast-tracking” its new policy requiring mandatory GPS-based geotagging for all government-funded infrastructure projects.
