Senate President Sherwin Gatchalian has pressed Congress to approve without delay a proposed law that would prevent family members of public officials from winning government contracts, the Philippine Daily Inquirer reported from Manila.
The proposal, as described by the Philippine Daily Inquirer, aims to shield public money and deter corruption.
Gatchalian argued that rapid passage is essential so government resources can be channeled into public programs and projects.
