Clearing of public thoroughfare, a serious mandate

Cotabato City is not one of the first batch of 10 local government units whose mayors are slapped with administrative charges before the Office of the Ombudsman “for failing to comply with the directive of President Rodrigo Duterte to clear roads of illegal obstructions.”

Interior and Local Government (DILG) Secretary Eduardo Año said these concerned mayors are charged with gross neglect of duty and grave misconduct. In Mindanao, those concerned are from Lapuyan in Zamboanga del Sur, Sagay and Guinsiliban in Camiguin, Manticao in Misamis Oriental, and Caraga in Davao Oriental.  

In the words of Secretary Año: “These mayors failed to perform their duty to clear their roads of obstructions, they did not develop or implement any displacement program or plan, they do not have any long-term rehabilitation and sustainability plan in place, and they failed to set up a feedback or grievance mechanism for their constituents; hence, we are compelled to seek their suspension from office.”
