MANILA, Philippines – Ombudsman Conchita Carpio Morales has ordered the dismissal of 3 local officials of a Sultan Kudarat town for facilitating an unlawful release of P13 million from the local government coffers.
Ordered dismissed from service and disqualified from future employment in government are municipal treasurer Francis Nadar, municipal accountant Zaida Apil, and municipal budget officer – all of the municipality of Palimbang, Sultan Kudarat.
In a statement on Friday, November 13, the Ombudsman said the 3 “facilitated and processed the unlawful disbursement checks and withdrawal of public funds from April to June 2010.”
The checks totalling P13 million were issued to Nadar but “did not represent any project or appropriation and that no documents or records supported the withdrawals,” the Ombudsman added. – Rappler.com
