No immunity for Janet Napoles! We will oppose all moves to make Janet Napoles a state witness

The Makabayan Coalition in Congress is set to block moves to make Janet Lim Napoles as a state witness in the P 10 billion pork barrel scam investigation

According to Bayan Muna Rep. Neri Colmenares, “we will oppose this move considering that Janet Lim Napoles is one of the main culprits in the pork barrel scam and this would be a clear travesty of justice. Napoles should be punished because of her crimes against the people. The Aquino administration should not make Napoles a state witness because it would seem that there was already a quid pro quo between them.

    This is the question that we in People Opposed to Unwarranted Electricity Rates (POWER) would like to raise in the wake of the ERC's ruling that orders PEMC to recalculate the incredible 70% overprice that happened in the WESM last November and December.
