SENATE Minority Leader Ralph Recto said one way to hasten the completion of traffic jam-causing road constructions is to install a camera which would allow Department of Public Works and Highways officials and the public to monitor progress, or the lack of it, real-time.
“If CCTVs are now being trained on government office workers, work on critical government infrastructure can also be livestreamed,” said Recto.
He noted that live-streaming is one IT-based “helper” that enables transparency in large-scale public works undertaking.
For “big-ticket flagship” projects, Recto said footage of jobsite cameras can be fed to Malacañang, where President Duterte can see it. He said Duterte can benefit from having a war room solely dedicated to monitoring infrastructure projects.
