Namfrel national chairman Jose Concepcion Jr. said Sunday night the Comelec official was administratively liable for the poll body’s failure to implement the computerization and modernization of the last elections.
"There is enough evidence that we can present," Concepcion said at a press conference the other night at Namfrel’s Operation Quick Count center in La Salle-Greenhills in San Juan.
Concepcion revealed that about one million signatories were willing to join Namfrel in its plan to file graft charges against Tancangco that would lead to her possible impeachment.
Concepcion mentioned provisions of the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act which cites injury done to other parties, in this case what the Filipino people and government had to suffer in the chaotic May 14 election.
He also lamented the huge sums of money spent by the government for the military and police nationwide due to reported cases of violence.
"And there is the issue of gross negligence in the exercise of her (Tancangco’s) oath of office," he said.
Concepcion said all pieces of evidence were "very well documented," including the investigation of the Commission on Audit of the Comelec regarding the use of funds.
"These will have to be very transparent so that we could know and seek the truth," he said.
"There are many organizations who want to be with us (in our plan to file impeachment and graft charges against Tancangco). Over one million have indicated that they would like to join us in this historical moment," Concepcion said.
He added that Namfrel was concerned that Tancangco "has not complied with the provisions on the computerized voters list and the modernization act of the Comelec."
Concepcion further claimed that the commissioner diverted funds to her own pet projects: precinct mapping, voters registration and identification system, and the automated counting and consolidation of records.
For her gross negligence, Concepcion said "almost 30 percent of voters in the country have been disenfranchised."
