CEBU CITY – Security was tightened at the City Hall here following the failed takeover attempt of the camp of dismissed Mayor Michael Rama last week.
HEAVILY armed policemen have been deployed at the Cebu City Hall following last week’s tension filled incident caused by the takeover attempt of the supporters of dismissed Mayor Michael Rama. People entering the City Hall are also being checked.
Rosell insisted that Rama remains the city’s authorized chief executive even if the Office of the Ombudsman dismissed him from service for nepotism for hiring his two brothers-in-law to work for the city government. While in the office of Rama, Rosell was arrested by police for usurpation of authority after he issued memorandums, stating that he was back as city administrator.“I gave instructions to the city administrator, Human Resource Development Office, and the City Legal Office to investigate if there were employees who violated the laws. If found out that there were some who violated the Revised Penal Code and special laws, they will be charged accordingly,” said Garcia.
He said the CCPO has been instructed to ensure that operations at the City Hall will not be hampered.
