SENATOR Raffy Tulfo on Thursday blasted the National Irrigation Authori- ty (NIA) for unfinished projects despite the P121 billion allocated to them by Congress in the last six years, as lawmakers continued to grill government agencies on the reasons for widespread flooding following storms.
Tulfo said the following budget allocation given to NIA were as follows: 2017 - P15 billion, 2018-2019 - P20 billion, 2020 - P25 billion, 2021 - P19 bil- lion, and 2022 - P22 billion.
