THE Sandiganbayan has convicted three former officials of the state-run Technology and Livelihood Resource Center for malversation of public funds and graft arising from the illegal disbursement of P4.8 million worth of government money to an unqualified non-government organization .
“In these cases, the prosecution has sufficiently established that the PDAF funds released to KKKFI amounting to P4.8 million for the implementation of the livelihood projects of the First District of Palawan remain unliquidated and that the livelihood project was never implemented,” the Sandiganbayan pointed out.
“The prosecution was able to prove beyond reasonable doubt the existence implied conspiracy between the accused as evidenced by their respective acts and participation in the transaction,” the anti-graft court said. Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla said besides administrative cases, the trio will face complaints for violation of the graft law.
“And this is now the basis for hoarding and profiteering. Because they initially said there were no stocks, that there was nothing available, but when contracted at P500 plus, they suddenly had some,” he said.
