No ICI member wants to quit: executive director
The Independent Commission for Infrastructure (ICI) has denied rumors that a member is planning to resign.
ICI Executive Director Brian Hosaka affirmed that the commission is united and continues to operate within its mandate, specifically investigating corruption in flood control projects.
Hosaka cited ongoing scheduled hearings as proof of the ICI's stability, including one on Tuesday morning.
House Senior Deputy Minority Leader Edgar Erice had previously claimed that an ICI member might resign due to perceived insufficient authority.
The ICI, created by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to investigate anomalies in flood relief projects, currently lacks the power to cite individuals for contempt, a power some lawmakers are proposing.
Sen. Mark Villar attended an ICI hearing as a resource person, and government contractors Curlee and Sarah Discaya also returned for a hearing.
