The Supreme Court has been asked to nullify the Land Transportation Office's P836-million project involving the procurement of driver's license cards with five-year validity due to allegedly anomalous contract.
In a petition, Rep. Aniceto Bertiz III of the Acts Overseas Filipino Workers Coalition of Organizations party-list group (ACTS-OFW) asked the high court to enjoin the procurement of over eight million plastic license cards for 2017 from the NEXTIX, Dermalog Identification Systems, and CFP Strategic Transaction Advisors joint venture.
It was the second petition filed before the high court against the LTO project. The first one was filed by Anti-Trapo Movement last May.
Bertiz argued that the LTO cannot proceed with the assailed project because it did not have any allocation from the General Appropriations Act.
