MANILA (UPDATED) - Bayan Muna Rep. Carlos Zarate challenged the Office of the Ombudsman to show what it has done in the prosecution of the fertilizer fund scam case at the Sandiganbayan.
“Ano ba ang ginawa ng Ombudsman?” he asked.
This was after the anti-graft court gave the panel 60 days to obtain more evidence as it did not find any probable cause against former Agriculture Secretary Cito Lorenzo and Undersecretary Jocelyn “Joc-Joc” Bolante for plunder.
In a 46-page resolution promulgated last August 15, the anti-graft court's second division said: "All told, the evidence so far presented by the prosecution fails to establish the existence of probable cause that accused Bolante, by himself or with the help of his co-accused, amassed, accumulated, and/or acquired ill-gotten wealth in the aggregate amount of at least 50 million pesos."
The court was referring to former Agriculture Undersecretary Jocelyn "Joc-Joc" Bolante, tagged by a Senate investigation as the "architect" in the diversion of agricultural funds to the 2004 election campaign of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.
