New Ombudsman’s first task: to check status of cases

FORMER Supreme Court Justice Conchita Carpio-Morales, whose appointment as Ombudsman was announced at the President’s State of the Nation Address Monday, said her first order of business will be to check on the status of cases under her new office.
She told reporters after the Sona that she will go to the Supreme Court to follow up pending cases. She could not say, however, when she would do that.
“I haven’t taken my oath yet,” she reminded reporters.
Even before Carpio’s appointment was announced, Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago said Monday that President Beningo Aquino III should give the new Ombudsman no more than a year to clear the backlog of cases pending at the Office of the Ombudsman.
She explained that without a deadline, President Benigno Aquino III’s drive against corruption will be unsustainable.
She said the Department of Justice should appoint special prosecutors to help the Ombudsman resolve pending cases. Priority should go to criminal cases discovered recently. She gave the example of alleged misuse of the charity funds of the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office and military corruption probed by the Senate earlier this year.
Santiago meanwhile said her fellow lawmakers should hold fewer investigations on alleged corruption.
β€œCongress takes forever to investigate anomalies. We lose a lot of time, because the senators
and representatives are fishing for evidence. Some of them also try awkwardly to burnish their image in front of the TV cameras,” she said. (Jonathan de Santos/Sunnex)
