Retired Supreme Court Associate Justice Antonio Carpio has called for transparency in the probe conducted by the Independent Commission for Infrastructure (ICI) into alleged anomalies in flood control projects. According to Carpio, the secrecy surrounding these proceedings raises suspicions about the government’s intentions.
Carpio emphasized that as a matter of principle and good governance, investigations should be open to public scrutiny to ensure accountability and transparency. By making these proceedings public, the ICI can demonstrate its commitment to addressing concerns over potential irregularities in the implementation of flood control projects.
