The Office of the Ombudsman has filed graft charges against former Department of Health Secretary Francisco Duque III and former Department of Budget and Management Undersecretary Christopher Lao for supposed illegal fund transfer during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“With conscious and deliberate disregard or reckless abandonment of their obligation to ensure that the applicable requirements for the transfer of funds be observed effectively, caused the DOH to abandon, in times of health emergency, its bounden duty to expeditiously acquire the needed COVID-19 goods through direct negotiation with the suppliers,” the Ombudsman noted.
