Ombudsman humihingi ng SALN ng lahat ng miyembro ng House

Humihiling ang Office of the Ombudsman ng statements of assets, liabilities and net worth (SALN) ng lahat ng miyembro ng House of Representatives habang nilalakas ang imbestigasyon sa mga iregularidad sa proyekto ng flood control ng gobyerno. Ayon kay Ombudsman Jesus Crispin Remulla, 26 lawmakers ang magsusuring lifestyle checks, at maaaring idagdag pa ang isa. Inihayag niya ito sa kanyang radio program nitong weekend.

Inihayag ni Ombudsman Jesus Crispin Remulla sa kanyang radio program na “Executive Session” sa dzRH nitong weekend na hiniling niya ang SALN ng lahat ng miyembro ng Kongreso. “I have requested to get all of it, all the members of Congress. I said include everyone,” pahayag niya. Sinabi niyang magiging “very interesting” ang mga susunod na araw—Abril 20, 21 at 22—dahil sa mga “many developments” sa imbestigasyon laban sa mga lawmakers na tinawag na “congtractors” kaugnay ng kontrobersya sa flood control.

May mga kopya na ng SALN ang opisina niya ng 26 lawmakers na nauugnay sa eskema ng flood control, na susumariin ng lifestyle checks. Maaaring idagdag pa ang isang lawmaker, bagamat wala pang pinangalanan. Hiniling din niya ang SALN ng mga ito sa loob ng 10 taon o matagal ng panunungkulan nila sa Kongreso.

Binalaan niya si House Secretary General Cheloy Garafil ng posibleng suspension kung hindi susundin ang subpoena sa SALN. Ayon sa kanya, tumanggi si Garafil na tanggapin ang mga subpoena, at hindi pinayagan ang mga personnel ng ombudsman na pumasok ng House security. Inutusan niya ang kanyang tauhan na ipasa sa kanya ang mga kahilingan upang maging “institutional and professional,” na sinabi niyang, “Power-tripping is not allowed.”

Darating si Remulla sa hearing ng House justice committee sa Abril 22 kaugnay ng subpoena sa SALN ni Vice President Sara Duterte. “I will show up for a while just to show respect to the House,” aniya, bagamat ang tagapag-ingat ng mga dokumento ang makakapag sagot sa mga tanong.
