This is in addition to another P10 million spent on the refurbishment of the State House that commenced last year and was scheduled for completion last May. "In addition, the conversion of the old Serious Crime Squad offices to provide accommodation for the BDF sentries at the State House will be completed. The converted BDF sentry will provide accommodation for approximately 60 officers and men. Among other things, the building will have a commander's office, armoury, radio room, kitchen, dinning room and gym," the minister said this week when presenting the National Development Plan 10 (NDP 10).
She added that during NDP 10, her ministry will need P22.7 million for computerisation, an additional P5.7 million for fleet expansion at the Office of the President and P224 million for consultancies. "The funds will cover the installation of additional performance tools and executive leadership development as strategies to enhance performance in the public service. Part of the funds will be used to cater for a number of studies that emanated from the Business and Economic Advisory Council," the minister said.
