With no Congress hearings, ICI urged: Livestream probe
House Deputy Minority Leader and Liberal Partylist Rep. Leila De Lima urged the Independent Commission for Infrastructure (ICI) to livestream its probe into anomalous infrastructure projects.
She expressed disappointment with the ICI's refusal to livestream, stating that independence does not equate to secrecy.
De Lima questioned if the ICI's stance aligns with President Marcos's wishes, urging him to encourage the commission, created by his Executive Order 94, to be transparent.
Her call comes as the House and Senate hearings on the flood control mess have been suspended to give way to the ICI's investigation.
She warned that a fact-finding body like the ICI must be transparent to allay fears of a potential cover-up.
