Balido at salig sa kapangyarihan ni Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte ang pagbuo ng Presidential Anti-Corruption Commission (PACC).
Ito ang inihayag ni Bagong Henerasyon Party-list Rep. Bernadette Herrera-Dy, chair ng House Committee on Public Information.
“The now-defunct Presidential Anti-Graft Commission was created and abolished via presidential executive order.The new Presidential Anti-Corruption Commission is created via presidential executive order.
The exercise of presidential plenary power is validly made with Executive Order (EO) 43, series of 2017. EO 43 basically copies the provisions of executive orders that gave the defunct PAGC its composition, powers, and functions,” ayon sa pahayag ni Rep. Herrera-Dy.
Panibagong hakbang aniya ito ng Presidente kaakibat ng pangako nito sa mga Pinoy na mawalis ang korapsyon at maikorek ang “ethics” ng mga taga-gobyerno lalo na sa mga regulatory bodies na may koneksyon sa public utilities gaya ng Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC), Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS), National Telecommunications Commission (NTC), Toll Regulatory Board at iba pa.
Umaasa ang kongresista na walang magiging sagabal pagdating sa legal na usapin kaugnay ng pagbuo ng bagong komisyon at maipupuwesto rito ang mga karapat-dapat na indibidwal.
“I certaily hope that the EO can withstand any legal review as to its constitutionality.I would also wish that the right people will be chosen very rigidly and those to be appointed are very good people for its proper and effective implementation,” batay pa sa lady solon.
