Puno denies being behind GMA impeachment: report

-

Secretary Ronaldo Puno of the Department of Interior and Local Government said on Thursday that he had nothing to do with the allegedly unsubstantial impeachment complaint against President Gloria Arroyo, according to media reports.

Puno issued this declaration after Cebu 2nd district Representative Pablo Garcia cited the chairman of Pres. Arroyo’s Kabalikat ng Malayang Pilipino (KAMPI) as the mastermind of the complaint.

Puno said such a complaint would not prosper at the House of Representatives given that the majority of its members are allies of the President.

Likewise, he said that Garcia may be holding a grudge against him since he supported his rival Speaker Jose de Venecia, Jr. for the leadership post of the 14th Congress.
