Elago says probe on barrio captain cases will continue



ZAMBOANGA CITY (ZNS) -Notwithstanding its defeat by a technicality, the city council Committee on Good Government will continue its investigation against alleged anomaly in the barangay government of Talon Talon.
City Councilor Juan Kim Elago said that there is the possibility that the guilty person will be terminated from the service if found guilty of grave misconduct  and dishonesty,”.
Elago said that while   the motion  to suspend on a “preventive suspension “ for a period  of 60 days  to Talon Talon Barangay Chairman  Teodiver Arquiza was defeated by a minority number at the city council, the Committee on Good Government will continue .
Elago  voted in favor of a move to suspend a but was outvoted by others in the city council.
Elago said that there really is a case and appealed to fellow councilors to follow  due process  as the recommendation of the Committee on Good Government  for a  preventive suspension is not yet the verdict.
He said that councilors should not allow themselves to be emotionally be involved in the case.
 “Numa tiene emotion , sigi conel ley, “Elago  said .
According to Elago,  the decision of the members of the council  as to whether they are in favor or not or abstained  is  “their own decision and they are responsible and answerable to the public  for that matter .”
Elago further  appeals to his colleagues    to observe “good governance  “  and not to put mal-practices  that if there is   graft and corruption  involving sum of money – there must be “transparency .”
“Dale kita  mira que el consejo  hende  emocional siendo kwanto del  maga consehales   ya keda  tamen un capitan y kagawads  na diila barangay, “
Elago said .
“That’s the reason  y pesao para man suspend – grande  efecto, “ Elago added
