Aquino looking for ‘tough and clean’ NBI chief
PRESIDENT Benigno Aquino III has ordered Justice Secretary Leila de Lima to look for a “tough and clean” official who will replace sacked National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) chief Magtanggol Gatdula.
This was revealed by presidential spokesperson Edwin Lacierda Monday when asked the kind of qualities the President is looking for to replace the next NBI chief.
“If you’re talking about somebody who’s clean, that certainly requires a track record of being clean… Tough because it’s an organization that will deal with criminal elements and you have to gain the respect of those people from within and outside the organization,” Lacierda said.
De Lima has the jurisdiction to look for Gatdula’s replacement since NBI is under the supervision of the Department of Justice (DOJ).
Lacierda said the justice secretary is coming up with a shortlist for the possible replacements of Gatdula.
“That should be done expeditiously because we need an NBI chief,” the Palace official said.
Gatdula was removed from post after being involved in the alleged kidnapping and extortion of a 32-year-old Japanese woman, Noriyo Ohara, in October 2011.
A DOJ fact finding panel recommended the filing of criminal and administrative charges against Gatdula and several NBI agents involved in the case.
Lacierda declined to comment on several personalities who supposedly expressed interest for the post including Customs intelligence chief Danny Lim, former National Police chief Raul Bacalzo, and Criminal Investigation and Detection Group head Samuel Pagdilao.
“These are in the realm of speculation. Let’s just wait for the shortlist. The President will decide on it,” he said. “Whoever is in that shortlist is something that is confidential so I will not confirm or deny whether he is being considered.”
He also noted that the President did not indicate preference as to whether the next chief should come from the ranks of the NBI officials or from a different organization.
“The President indicated no preference to whether inside or outside. The President just gave instructions to Secretary Leila de Lima for qualifications. It is up to Secretary Leila de Lima to look into those people who would fit in to the requirements of the President,” he said. (Jill Beltran/Sunnex)
