The Independent Commission for Infrastructure (ICI) is seeking a National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) probe into fake news alleging it engaged an anti-crime NGO for its investigation.
The ICI stated that reports claiming it partnered with Task Force Kasanag International, led by John Chong, are false and intended to undermine the commission's work.
The commission emphasized its commitment to impartiality and professionalism in its investigations.
The ICI, led by former Supreme Court Justice Andres Reyes, Jr., will ask the NBI to identify those responsible for the disinformation to recommend criminal charges.
The ICI is currently conducting closed-door hearings regarding alleged corruption in government contracts for public works, particularly flood control projects.
