Special task Force for Fixers

Anti Red Tape Authority forms an Anti Fixer force to go after fixers preying on the public transacting in government agencies.

“Bumuo ang ARTA ng Special Task Force kasama ang ilang ahensiya ng gobyerno upang puksain ang mga fixer na talamak sa madaming ahensiya ng gobyerno.”

“Nanawagan ang ARTA sa mga pinuno ng mga ahensiya na linisin na ang kanilang mga bakuran at huwag nang hintayin ang ARTA na puntahan sila.”

“Ngayong epektibo na ang IRR, ganap na ang kapangyarihan ng ARTA na magpataw ng kaparusahan sa kung sinuman ang patuloy na magsusulong ng red tape sa gobyerno.”

ARTA said in a statement.
