SENATOR Win Gatchalian urged the Department of Justice (DOJ) to expedite its investigation into the flood control to hold guilty parties accountable as soon as possible.
“The public is getting impatient with the investigation dahil wala pang nakukulong. We need you to really do something meaningful and drastic,” Gatchalian told acting Justice Secretary Fredderick Vida during a Senate hearing on the proposed budget of the Department of Justice and its attached agencies.
Gatchalian is the chair of the Senate Committee on Finance.
According to the senator, damning revelations that came out from investigations undertaken by the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee and the House Infrastructure Committee heightened expectations by the general public of immediate filing of cases against those involved in ghost and substandard flood control projects.
“Alam nila kung sino ‘yung mga sapsap at butete,” Gatchalian added, referring to different personalities involved in the flood control anomalies.
The Justice Department is expected to initiate the filing of appropriate charges in coordination with the Independent Committee on Infrastructure (ICI).
