HOUSE Committee on Public Accounts chair, Bicol Saro Party-list Representative Terry Ridon, is demanding that whistleblowers provide concrete evidence, including the names of the individuals involved, to support allegations of corruption in anti-flood projects.
The call follows claims that 67 lawmakers are allegedly involved in corrupt practices related to these projects. Representative Ridon emphasized that unsubstantiated accusations are insufficient and that those making the claims bear the responsibility of providing verifiable proof to support their allegations.
Representative Ridon’s statement underscores the need for transparency and accountability in government spending, particularly in crucial infrastructure projects.
The demand for specific names and evidence aims to ensure that any investigations are focused and effective, leading to appropriate action against those found responsible for any wrongdoing. The lack of specific details in the initial allegations has prompted this call for concrete evidence from whistleblowers, highlighting the importance of substantiating claims with irrefutable proof.
