                    [Summary] => Public Works and Highways Secretary Simeon Datumanong has relieved 41 department officials and employees implicated in the P150-million vehicle repair scam, including three members of the panel that investigated the anomaly.


In an order released yesterday, Datumanong said the relieved personnel, who are all based at the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH)’s central office in Manila, were found "to have either benefited from a reimbursement scheme or failed to perform their duty in preventing such irregularity."

"This would not be a flash-in-the-pan. This would be a continuing effort," Datumanong said.


A source at the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) said he has forwarded an initial report of a five-member probe panel created to look into the P150-million vehicle repair scam.

DPWH Secretary Simeon Datumanong also revealed that at least 44 officials of the agency were involved in the multimillion-peso scandal involving repair of service vehicles and equipment.


Datumanong said 11 of those being eyed for complicity in the anomaly were "in too deep," while two others were members themselves of a fact-finding panel he formed to conduct the investigation.

Revilla said the recent reshuffle implemented by DPWH Secretary Simeon Datumanong was "half-baked" and could not possibly cleanse the agency which has been perennially tagged as one of the five most corrupt government agencies.
