Patuloy ang pagsisiyasat ng mga mambabatas kaugnay sa mga nasa likod ng onion cartel na nagresulta sa umano’y shortage ng sibuyas sa bansa.
Kahapon, Marso 19, nagbigay ng babala si House Speaker Martin Romualdez sa mga resource persons na maaari silang makulong kung hindi sila makikipagtulungan o kung magsisinungaling sila sa imbestigasyon ng Kamara.
“I cannot stress enough for these resource persons the importance of cooperating with the committee. Lie to lawmakers and you will all find yourselves in jail,” saad ni Romualdez.
Bukas, Marso 21, ipagpapatuloy ng House Committee on Agriculture and Food na pinamumunuan ni Quezon 1st district Representative Mark Enverga ang pag uusig upang alamin ang pagkakakilanlan ng mga financiers at traders na sangkot sa onion hoarding.
“We need to lower the prices of onions and decimate the cartel the soonest possible time. And I guarantee the imprisonment of those exploitative and abusive individuals and business owners behind the cartel. Our constituents need an immediate reprieve from the high prices of agricultural goods,” ani Romualdez.
“The committee will not spare anyone who helped these unscrupulous individuals, even those from the government. You are equally guilty causing the suffering of the Filipino people,” dagdag nito.
Umaasa si Romualdez na makikipagugnayan na sina Argo International Forwarders Inc. President and General Manager Efren Zoleta Jr., operations manager John Patrick Sevilla at legal counsel John Ryan Cruz matapos nitong tumangging makipagtulungan kamakailan.
“Let your detention by the committee be a lesson. If you will not tell us the truth, we will send you to jail,” sabi ng mambabatas.
