No talks yet on abolishing ICI, says Castro
The Independent Commission for Infrastructure (ICI) may conclude its investigation into alleged anomalous flood control projects within one to two months, with findings to be turned over to the Ombudsman's office.
Ombudsman Jesus Crispin Remulla stated that the ICI's mandate is not permanent and that his office is prepared to take over the case.
Palace Press Officer Claire Castro clarified that there are no discussions yet regarding the abolishment of the ICI.
Castro mentioned that while the Ombudsman is active in addressing the issue, there are no specific details or updates on the ICI's future.
Rogelio "Babes" Singson had previously indicated his intention to leave the ICI by December due to personal commitments, although the article does not mention his resignation as a factor in the potential wrap-up.
