Nakatakdang i-audit ng bagong Kalihim ng Department of Agriculture (DA) ang mga farm machineries na ginamit na nagkakahalaga ng P100 milyon.
Ayon kay Pinol tatanungin niya si OIC Director Carlene Collado kung bakit hindi naipamahagi ang mga machineries sa mga magsasaka..
Inatasan ni Pinol ang Internal Audit Service, sa pamamagitan ni retired Phil. Marines Colonel Danny Luna na alamin kung paano ginamit ang pondo para sa naturang kagamitang pansaka.
“While many farmers of Central Mindanao have to be content with using the slow moving carabao to plow their rice fields, modern agriculture equipment worth over PHP100-million have been left under the elements in the 35-hectare compound of the Department of Agriculture (DA) in Tupi, South Cotabato. Some of the equipment units were bought by the government as long as four years ago while the more expensive ones, including multi-million peso rice and corn harvesters and tractors are about a year old,” pahayag ni Pinol.
