SENATOR Panfilo Lacson on Thursday said that a thorough internal cleansing of the bureaucracy will be his priority if he will be elected president in May.

Lacson said it is time to purge the bureaucracy of public servants who betray their oath by failing to provide public service or by engaging in various forms of corruption.

“Kakalusin dapat,” he said of the misfits in the government, especially those who steal.

“So isang matinding internal cleansing ang dapat gawin para malinis natin ang gobyerno. Hanggang hindi natin malinis ang gobyerno, paano natin tutugunan ang pangangailangan ng ating kababayan?” he added.

The cleansing is in line with his campaign promise of “Aayusin ang Gobyerno, Aayusin ang Buhay ng Bawat Pilipino.”

“Ang burukrasya natin ay napakalawak, nasa 1.2 to 1.5 milyon tayo sa gobyerno. I don’t care if I’m left with 500,000 basta’t mga honest at talagang nagtatrabaho,” he said.

“Alam natin napakaraming tanggapan na kapag pumasok ka walang inaasikaso. Ang iba parang walang nakita. Sa halip na makatulong, nangungupit pa ng pera, naghihintay ng lagay. Saan ilalagay ang mamamayan natin kung hindi serbisyo publiko ang pino-provide at sa halip ay perwisyo pa,” the senator stressed.

Lacson said disciplining the bureaucracy will be the key to regaining the trust of the people.

“Kaya ang aking panawagan, ayusin natin ang gobyerno para mapabuti ang buhay ng bawat Pilipino. There’s no other way,” he said.
