Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra said the enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) has pushed back the signing of the memorandum of agreement (MOA) that would allow the Office of the Ombudsman (OMB) to deputize Department of Justice (DOJ) prosecutors and Commission on Audit (COA) auditors as resident ombudsmen in corruption-prone agencies.
“The OMB/COA/DOJ MOA was supposed to have been jointly signed around this time but the ECQ intervened,” he said on Thursday (Aug. 12).
Guevarra explained “the MOA sets forth the general terms for the deployment of prosecutors and auditors as deputized ombudsmen.”
“Specific provisions such as on trigger amounts will be spelled out in separate agreements with the agencies where resident ombudsmen will be assigned,” he said.
The government has decided to place the National Capital Region (NCR) under stricter ECQ from Aug. 6 to 20.
The move was made with the aim to stop the spread of the more infectious Delta variant of COVID-19.
