上诉法院维持对前副监察专员在Pharmally案中的解职判决

上诉法院已维持对前任监察专员办公室副专员沃伦·雷克斯·里昂(Warren Rex Liong)的政府公职解职决定,原因是他涉及在新冠疫情期间从Pharmally制药公司采购个人防护装备时涉嫌价格虚高的案件。上诉法院第三法庭因缺乏依据,驳回了他对监察专员署裁决提出的申诉。

上诉法院第三法庭驳回了前副监察专员沃伦·雷克斯·里昂要求推翻其解职判决的请求,裁定其申诉缺乏依据。里昂曾在预算管理部采购服务处担任采购小组主任,因在任期间存在严重不当行为和严重不诚实行为,于2023年被监察专员办公室下令解职。他曾建议批准与Pharmally制药公司签署合同,尽管该公司未能满足政府采购法规定的技术和财务要求。上诉法院在裁决中指出:“必须强调的是,经调查并发现存在异常的交易涉及国家财政拨出的数十亿比索合同,然而这些合同却授予了像Pharmally这样资本严重不足且缺乏经验的供应商。”里昂在辩护时援引了《治愈如一法案》(Bayanihan to Heal as One Act,即第11469号共和国法案),称该法案在卫生危机期间放宽了第9184号共和国法案的相关条款。上诉法院对此反驳称,法律的解释必须与宪法保持一致。法院表示:“他不能躲在自己对《治愈如一法案》的解读背后,特别是考虑到他自称对该法案的理解与宪法以及公平和问责的基本原则背道而驰。”Pharmally争议持续引发政治影响,包括有关其关联方与竞选资金关联的新指控。
