Nartatez’s Christmas wish: Justice amid flood control project anomaly
Acting Philippine National Police (PNP) Chief Lt. Gen. Jose Melencio Nartatez Jr. expressed his Christmas wish for justice, particularly concerning the ongoing investigation into infrastructure anomalies.
He stated that achieving justice is a primary prayer, especially with the Independent Commission for Infrastructure's (ICI) probe into a flood control project.
The ICI investigation has led to the arrest of nine individuals implicated in graft and malversation, with seven others still at large, and these cases mark the first batch brought before the Sandiganbayan.
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. had previously pledged to have those responsible for alleged corruption jailed by Christmas.
The PNP is providing technical support to the ICI, including engineering verification, forensic validation, and information systems development.
Nartatez also hopes to strengthen the PNP through internal reforms for better public service.
The ICI recommends charges against Senator Ramon Revilla Jr. and other officials tagged in the flood control mess.
