Court junks graft case vs ex-LWUA execs

The Sandiganbayan's Special First Division has dismissed the graft complaint filed against former Local Water Utilities Administration (LWUA) Administrator Lorenzo Jamora and former Acting Deputy Administrator Wilfredo Feleo in connection with the disbursement of P1.1 million to a firm in 2004 as final payment for the Guimba Water Supply Project in Nueva Ecija.

The court, in a nine-page resolution, said the Ombudsman took so long in investigating the case and granted the motions filed by Jamora and Feleo to dismiss the complaint. It also granted a similar motion filed by Renato Legaspi, who was charged in his capacity as former President and Chairman of Green Asia Construction and Development Corporation.
