Aquino promises clean govt
[Straits Times] THE Philippine president-apparent and nominees to what he pledged would be a lean, graft-free Cabinet promised on Wednesday to travel overseas less, investigate corruption and renew peace talks on ending decades-long insurgencies. With the vote count nearly complete, Benigno Aquino III began assembling his Cabinet from the ranks of defectors from outgoing President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo"s administration. One ministerial nominee said bloated contracts, especially from Mrs Arroyo"s last six months in office, would be investigated before being honoured. Posted by: Fred 2010-05-13 |
