Malacañang appealed to City Mayor
of Makati Erwin Binay Jr. to just follow the suspension order that was issued
by Office of Ombudsman in connection with overpriced Makati parking building in
order to avoid any disruption of city services in Makati.
Four days and still counting Binay
Jr. holed up inside in his office after ombudsman ordered a six-month
suspension for him as city mayor. An estimate of 2,500 supporters surrounded
Makati city hall, affecting the city’s delivery of services.
Manuel Roxas II of Interior and
Local Government Secretary said that the “drama” staged by Binay camp is not helping
the city any good results.
“In Makati, (issuance of)
business permits and occupancy permits and real estate tax filing – all these
are being delayed. How many thousands of people can’t transact their business
because of this drama?” Roxas asked.
The report revealed that “Binay’s
suspension stems from the administrative charges he is facing for grave
misconduct, serious dishonesty and conduct prejudicial to the best interest of
government service because the Makati City Hall parking building was awarded to
MANA Architecture & Interior Design Co. without public bidding and periodic
payments were released to MANA without its corresponding deliverables under the
contract.”
