MANILA — Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra said Friday he would tap an officer-in-charge for the Bureau of Corrections and direct him to suspend officials tagged in the allegedly corruption-tainted
release of prisoners based on the good conduct time allowance law.
"Ang una kong idi-discuss dito sa magiging OIC ay ang immediately pag-suspend muna pansamantala nitong sa mga taong sinasabing may kinalaman sa bayaran ng GCTA at temporarily pag-lock up ng lahat ng mga dokumentong may kinalaman sa GCTA processing," he added. "Considering na masyado nang long-established iyang mga kalakarang d'yan sa Bureau of Corrections, we may have to inject first blood into the Bureau of Corrections," said Guevarra.
"Patuloy ang pag-evaluate sa kanilang conduct, it's just really screening out iyong mga hindi dapat makasama sa additional benefits ng GCTA law," he added.
