Employees of the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS) have called on the Ombudsman to suspend MWSS administrator Gerardo Esquivel and expedite the graft charges filed against him over the irregular hiring of 40 consultants in the past two years.

MWSS Labor Association president Napoleon Quinones said it has been a year since they filed the graft charges against Esquivel and the MWSS board of trustees for violating Republic Act (RA) 9184, otherwise known as the Government Procurement Reform Act, Presidential Decree 1445 or the Government Auditing Code of the Philippines, and RA 3019 or the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act.
