Senate panel grants immunity to witness in laptop probe

THE Senate Blue Ribbon Committee (BRC) has granted immunity to a 'vital witness' from the Department of Education (DepEd) so he can freely testify on the alleged overpriced purchase of laptops for public school teachers.

The BRC, led by Sen. Francis Tolentino, granted immunity to lawyer Marcelo Bragado Jr., DepEd's Procurement Management Service director.
