Sinibak na sa pwesto ni PNP OIC chief Lt. Gen. Archie Gamboa ang tatlong police officers na miyembro ng bids and awards committee (BAC) at technical working group dahil sa pangongotong ng nasa P5 milyon sa mga proponents ng body cameras na bibilhin ng Philippine National Police (PNP).
Kinilala ni Gamboa ang tatlong mga opisyal na sina Major Emerson Sales, Major Rholly Caraggayan at Major Angel Beros.
Sinabi pa ni Gamboa na taong 2018 pa nasibak ang mga nasabing opisyal matapos na magsumbong ang isa sa walong proponents na siya ay kinikikilan ng mga nasabing pulis.
Nahaharap ngayon sa summary dismissal proceedings ang tatlong akusadong pulis.
Bukod sa kasong administratibo sasampahan din sila ng kasong kriminal.
Pagbubunyag pa ni Gamboa, dahil sa nasabing isyu naantala ang pagbili at delivery ng mga body cameras na may pondong mahigit P334 million.
Pero tiniyak ni Gamboa na bago magtapos ang taon mabibili na ang mga body cameras nang sa gayon mai-deliver na ito sa 2nd or 3rd quarter sa susunod na taon.
“There were 8 proponents who bidded. Now during in the middle of the post qualification, I have found out as chairman of the BAC that 3 of my men in the technical working group were asking money from the proponent. So I cause them to be relieved from their position as TWG, I displaced them but they were charged administratively for doing so kasi sabi ko nga sa kanila we are trying to prove that government procurement can be clean and here are you putting a very bad example and I promised to the members of the BAC that I will dismiss these 3 police majors and theya re undergoing now administrative proceedings I think within the month of November we will be coming up with their verdict but I am sure that they will be dismissed because this is also part of our anti-corruption campaign in connection of course with the President’s call for anti-corruption measures. So noong nagkaroon ng controversy na-hold ‘yong post qualification because I have to deal with it so anyway nagpatuloy yung post qualification with a new TWG,” pahayag pa ni Lt.Gen. Gamboa.
