Lawyer of 18 'ex-marines' wants Erwin Tulfo to inhibit as panel chair in Senate Blue Ribbon probe
The lawyer of 18 former aides of resigned lawmaker Zaldy Co said on Monday that Senator Erwin Tulfo should recuse himself as the chairman of the Gatchalian bloc"s Senate Blue Ribbon Committee investigation, citing their allegations of cash delivery against him.
Legal counsel representing 18 former staff members of ex-representative Zaldy Co has formally requested that Senator Erwin Tulfo step down from his role as chair of the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee. The petition for inhibition stems from accusations involving the alleged delivery of cash to the senator, which the legal team claims compromises his impartiality in the ongoing inquiry. By seeking his recusal, the group aims to ensure that the legislative probe remains objective and free from potential conflicts of interest. The committee is currently investigating matters related to the former lawmaker's associates, and this development adds a layer of procedural tension to the proceedings. The senator has yet to issue a formal response regarding whether he will honor the request to inhibit himself from the panel.
The request for inhibition highlights concerns over potential bias and ethical conflicts within high-level legislative investigations.
