The camp of a former Lapu-Lapu City mayor remained mum about the Sandiganbayan decision to convict him and 12 others in connection with the anomalous procurement of 199 decorative lampposts during the country’s hosting of the 12th Asean Summit in 2007.
In 2021, the Supreme Court instead ordered the Sandiganbayan to proceed with Radaza’s arraignment and to “fully dispose” of the case speedily.
The Sandiganbayan ordered the imprisonment of all the accused from six to 10 years, with perpetual disqualification from holding public office. Radaza and his coaccused were charged with conspiracy to give a firm preferential treatment and to defraud the government by increasing costs for the project.
“The prosecution was able to establish the presence of collusion between and among the accused in making it appear that the preparation for the procurement and the award of the P83,935,000 contract to Fabmik was regular, proper and legal through a bogus negotiated procurement done with manifest partiality in favor of Braza and evident bad faith to the detriment of the public,” the court said.
