Resigned Information and Communications Technology secretary Rodolfo Salalima should shed light on the supposed “corruption” in his agency after he resigned due to conflict of interest, Malacañang said Saturday.
“Good governance being the North Star of the Duterte administration, Mr. Salalima may want to shed light on certain incidents in the department he once headed,” Presidential Spokesperson Ernesto Abella said.
In a hastily called general assembly with DICT officials Friday, Salalima explained that he wanted to step down as the agency’s top official because he cannot deal with corruption and interference.
Earlier, Duterte expressed that he is already finding “the best guy” as a possible replacement for Salalima, whose agency is currently rolling out lucrative multibillion projects, such as the P1.7-billion free public Wi-Fi initiative and the P1.2-billion National Broadband Program.
