Remulla: Romualdez could face gross inexcusable negligence complaint
Ombudsman Jesus Crispin Remulla stated that former House Speaker Martin Romualdez might face a complaint for gross inexcusable negligence.
This potential complaint stems from Romualdez's role in the appointment of former congressman Zaldy Co as the chairperson of the House Appropriations Committee.
The Ombudsman also mentioned that other government officials could face the same complaint.
Remulla noted a pattern showing Co's coordination with some senators in crafting the final version of the national budget.
Zaldy Co is currently facing allegations of orchestrating last-minute insertions into the 2025 national budget, which he has denied as false and baseless.
Romualdez has not yet provided a comment regarding the accusations.
