参议员抨击领取现金援助的“幽灵司机”

参议员们批评网约车服务(TNVS)公司提供的司机受益人名单存在重复姓名,导致部分司机多次领取援助金。社会福利与发展部长雷克斯·加查里安(Rex Gatchalian)称这些为“幽灵司机”,并表示如果不是及时发现,政府可能损失高达27亿比索。

在恢复举行关于中东危机保护措施的听证会期间,社会福利与发展部长雷克斯·加查里安报告了通过数字平台向司机提供援助所面临的挑战。他形容TNVS提供的“垃圾名单”中包含重复或三重出现的受益人姓名,例如带或不带“Jr.”后缀的姓名,这使得通过电子钱包进行双重支付成为可能。

“交通网络公司承诺提供一份干净的名单。但在发放过程中,我们发现了重复、三重录入和姓名错误的情况,”加查里安说道。他补充称:“如果我们不加核实就直接使用电子钱包发放,我们将损失27亿比索的紧缺资源,这些钱本应流向那些‘幽灵骑手和司机’。”

“保护措施”特别委员会主席、参议员谢温·加查里安(Sherwin Gatchalian)批评TNVS公司未能清理受益人名单,导致发放过程陷入混乱并出现排长队现象。他回顾了4月18日一名摩托车出租车司机在奎松市排队等待时因心脏病发作死亡的事件。

Grab菲律宾公司首席企业事务官谢丽丽斯·博尼法西奥(Sherielysse Bonifacio)对此道歉,并表示公司对这份“垃圾”名单“承担责任”。她指出,他们已经提供了一份新的、更全面的司机“历史名单”。
