Andaya on Diokno probe: ‘Maybe next Congress’

THE investigation against incoming Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) Gov. Benjamin Diokno will no longer be pursued under this Congress, said a leader at the House of Representatives who actively chased the outgoing Budget secretary over alleged “insertions” in the 2019 national appropriation.

House appropriations chairman Rolando Andaya Jr. said the investigation against Diokno would likely take place “in some other time” and would be undertaken by “some other person,” “maybe in the next Congress.”
