The Sandiganbayan convicted former Maguindanao Gov. Datu Sajid Islam Ampatuan of graft and falsification of public documents in connection with several ghost road rehabilitation projects amounting to more than P20 million. | dempseyreyesINQ /PDI
Due to the multiple graft conviction, Ampatuan was ordered by the Sandiganbayan to pay the provincial government of Maguindanao P22 million and P5,000 for each count of falsification.
As for the road projects, the Sandiganbayan cited a statement from the Commission on Audit which said that the roads that were supposed to be rehabilitated or improved were found “either shorter than the reported accomplishments or that no signs of rehabilitation or improvement were appreciable.” The court, however, pointed out that the COA’s findings were not referring to whether the roads were not in perfect condition, but rather “the findings [of the COA] touch on deficiencies in the implementation.”
