                    [Summary] => Incoming Agriculture Secretary Arthur Yap welcomed yesterday an investigation into accusations that he "juggled and realigned" P432 million in government funds when he was National Food Authority (NFA) administrator.


In a statement, Yap described as "baseless and malicious" the charges filed against him by Department of Agriculture (DA) resident Ombudsman Marlene Garcia Esperat.


"I cannot understand why she has to file charges barely two weeks after the announcement of my appointment as secretary of the Department of Agriculture," he said.

                    [Summary] => National Food Authority (NFA) Administrator Arthur Yap, seven officials of the Department of Agriculture (DA) and two other people were charged with graft before the Ombudsman yesterday over the alleged illegal purchase of P432 million worth of fertilizers.


In a four-page complaint, DA resident Ombudsman Marlene Garcia Esperat alleged that Yap and the other respondents, along with two other private individuals, should be held accountable for graft, technical malversation and gross neglect of duty in conspiring to overprice the purchase of fertilizers.
