JV: Napoles’ conspirators are from executive branch

THE insinuation that Janet Lim-Napoles was not mastermind of the multibillion-peso pork barrel fund scam may be unlikely but Sen. Joseph Victor “JV” Ejercito is convinced that the detained businesswoman has conspirators in the executive department.

Ejercito at the same time said on Friday the pork barrel scam should not be blamed entirely on lawmakers because without the participation of the different officials of government agencies that handle the approval and release of pork funds, the lawmakers could not force them to be released.
