Solicitor General Menardo Guevarra ‘vehemently denies’ that he was part of a cover-up during the Duterte administration. But how will he explain the lackluster performance of the much-touted drug war review panel?
This is AI generated summarization, which may have errors. For context, always refer to the full article.
On Tuesday, May 21, lawmakers at the House of Representatives grilled Guevarra on the apparent lack of action in investigating the killings committed under Duterte’s violent war on drugs. “I categorically deny, for the record, that the DOJ and particularly myself, was involved in a cover-up,” said Guevarra.
The coronavirus pandemic also hampered the work of the panel, said Guevarra, forcing the DOJ to reduce its planned nationwide coverage and just used records from the National Prosecution Services and the PNP’s Internal Affairs Services . Ang dating po sa amin, kung ang 52 lamang o 56 ang ibinigay sa amin na meron silang nakitang lapses, conversely, ang conclusion doon sa natirang mahigit 6,000 na kaso, ang conclusion ng IAS ay walang lapses na nangyari,” Guevarra added.
