Agri chief reiterates 'no corruption' policy

IN light of the allegations of extortion against Bureau of Plant Industry (BPI) officials, Agriculture Secretary William Dar on Wednesday gave assurances that his department remains steadfast in its drive against graft and corruption.

In a statement, Dar asserted that the DA remains firm in its policy of "No To Corruption." "We call upon everyone in the OneDA Family, particularly those who transact business as part of their functions at the DA regulatory agencies to come forward if they have knowledge of any misconduct, especially of corruption, and present evidence so we can act on them with urgency," he said.
