On Friday morning, Akbayan called on the Office of the Ombudsman to investigate Supreme Court Spokesperson and Administrator Atty. Midas Marquez for cases of corruption and abuse office.
In a letter Akbayan Rep. Walden Bello delivered to Ombudsman Conchita Carpio-Morales, the group identified two bases for the investigation: acting as unofficial defense counsel of Chief Justice Renato Corona at the public’s expense, and Irregularities in the implementation and management of the Judicial Reform Support Project.
“Hindi lang si Chief Justice Corona ang kailangang managot sa taong bayan,” Bello said. “To restore the integrity to the Supreme Court, it is imperative that we also make Corona’s henchmen accountable for their transgression, una na sa lahat ang kanang kamay ni Corona na si Atty. Midas Marquez.”
