Comelec to probe itself for poll snafus
10/27/2010The Commission on Elections (Comelec) has created an investigating panel that would probe the delays in the distribution of election materials that caused the postponement of the barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) polls in some parts of the country.
Commissioner Armando Velasco, head of the fact-finding body, was given 15 working days to come up with the panel’s recommendation to be forwarded to the Commission en banc.
“We are given more than two weeks to finish the investigation to know what happened. What are the causes? Who are responsible? Likewise, we have to give recommendations for possible reform in distribution of election supplies and paraphernalia. We will try our best to finish that in 15 working days. If not we can ask for (an) extension,” he said.
Velasco said that those who will be probed are those involved in the preparation and distribution of the supplies, including forwarders, Bids and Awards Committee (BAC) and the National Printing Office (NPO).
