Still no corruption probe yet in DOH’s poor use of COVID-19 funds
Both the DOJ and the Office of the Ombudsman will not open their own investigations – which they can do – as they let COA process run its course
There will be no corruption investigation yet by either the Department of Justice and the Office of the Ombudsman in the audit report of the Department of Health (DOH) that showed poor use of P67 Billion worth of COVID-19 funds.
Both agencies are taking a conservative stance and letting the Commission on Audit (COA) process run its course, even though both offices have the power to open an investigation motu proprio or on its own.
“Like any other agency, it will be given a reasonable chance to comply with or abide by the recommendations of the COA,” said Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra, the lead of an anti-corruption task force as assigned by President Rodrigo Duterte.
