“I don’t think they have a legitimate matter to be a subject of an inquiry in aid of legislation…I was the one who initiated that [raid]. Why should I be the one investigated?” This is the statement of former Justice secretary Leila De Lima refusing to attend a senate probe over the issue OD confiscated drugs inside the Bilibid way back 2014. In this raid, it was found out that inmates were living in luxury. Currently, De Lima is now facing different allegations in lieu of her feud against President Duterte.
But Kabayan Partylist Rep. Harry Roque threatens De Lima and is ready to have her arrested if she will not attend the senate probe. Roque also pointed out that she is not being investigated as a senator, but as the former justice secretary, a position which she abused and used for her alleged role in drug trades.
He also challenged the Senator to attend the senate probe if she is not hiding anything, and didn’t do anything wrong.
On the other hand, De Lima is yet to comment on this issue.
