Dizon to abolish DPWH anti-graft body probing projects
Newly appointed Public Works Secretary Vince Dizon announced his intention to abolish the DPWH's internal Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Committee.
Dizon stated his belief that the DPWH should not be investigating itself, deeming the internal task force's approach flawed.
He confirmed that the committee was dismantled, respecting President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s decision to form an independent commission.
Dizon added that the DPWH did not know an independent commission was about to be formed to probe the agency.
Every piece of information that the DPWH has gathered so far will be turned over to the independent commission for investigation.
