President Rodrigo Duterte has ordered the DOJ to extend its probe on corruption beyond the DPWH mess, to cover the entire government bureaucracy.

“I hope all government workers, officials are listening. This is a memorandum from me, the President, to Sec. Menardo Guevarra, Department of Justice. Ang subject is [to] investigate allegations of corruption in the entire government. Lahat,” Duterte said in a taped speech aired Tuesday.“The DOJ shall have the authority to decide which allegation to investigate taking into consideration the gravity thereof and their impact on the delivery of government service,” he added.

The President also authorized the DOJ to create as many panels that it deems necessary and invite or direct other government agencies to be part of such panels.
