Complainant drops all pending graft raps vs Gov. Kho

The complainant in 15 graft charges against Masbate Gov. Antonio T. Kho has dropped the ten remaining cases after the Ombudsman’s outright dismissal of the initial five lawsuits.

He said: “I apologized to Gov. Antonio Kho and the other officials of Masbate provincial government for filing these baseless and malicious cases. I am deeply sorry and I regret whatever embarassment these complaints may have caused in their names and reputation in the eyes of their constituents.” Fuentes admitted that he had initially relied on incomplete information when he filed all the 15 graft cases.

In several instances last year, a total of 15 cases of the same nature were filed by Fuentes against Kho and ten other officials of the provincial government where he alleged that anomalous disbursement of public funds were committed by the respondents.
