Former Health secretary Francisco Duque III on Monday maintained that the transfer of over P41 billion to the Procurement Services of the Department of Budget and Management for the purchase of COVID-19 supplies was necessary and legal despite facing graft charges over it.
Ombudsman Samuel Martires has already ordered the filing of graft charges against Duque and former Budget undersecretary Christopher Lao, saying the transfer of P41 billion for the procurement of COVID-19 supplies in March 2020 to PS-DBM was illegal because it did not fall under common use supplies which the PS-DBM is allowed to procure. Duque has since appealed the decision of the Ombudsman.
