DETERMINADO ang Kamara panagutin ang mga kapural sa likod ng maanomalyang Manila Bay Dolomite Beach project sa kahabaan ng Roxas Boulevard sa lungsod ng Maynila.
Sa isang pahayag, kinumpirma ni Bicol Saro partylist Rep. Terry Ridon na kabilang sa mga inaasahang sasalang sa pagdinig ng House Committee on Public Accounts sa Nobyembre 19 si former Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) Secretary Roy Cimatu.
“Former DENR Secretary Roy Cimatu will be invited to appear before the House Committee on Public Accounts in connection with the Manila Bay Dolomite Beach project,” pahayag ni Ridon.
“As DENR Secretary, he had ultimate responsibility for the Manila Bay rehabilitation, including the origination and implementation of the Manila Bay Dolomite Beach project,” dagdag pa ng chairman ng public accounts panel.
“He will be asked to explain how the project originated and why he had allowed the project to proceed despite not being part of the Manila Bay Sustainable Development Master Plan and despite questions on its consistency with the Supreme Court’s (SC) Continuing Mandamus on the rehabilitation of Manila Bay,” ani Ridon.
Ang artificial white sand beach project ay ginawa sa kasagsagan ng Covid-19 pandemic noong 2020.
Nauna nang nilinaw ni Ridon na hindi target ng imbestigasyon si dating Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte kundi ang mga taong nasa likod ng proyekto.
