Concerns Mount Over Transparency and Fairness in MoCaFi Contract for Migrant Debit Card Program
Some people are worried because MoCaFi got a lot of taxpayer money without anyone else getting a chance. Even though they said it was an emergency it took a long time for migrants to get any money. And people wonder if MoCaFi’s service is really special enough to be the only choice. The mayor talked about getting ideas for new technology to find guns in the subways but they didn’t do the same thing to help the debit card program of migrants. Americans think it’s strange that they didn’t ask other companies to give ideas. Now as the debit card program starts Americans still worry about whether it will work well and whether everything is fair.
