The Department of Justice (DOJ) Secretary Menardo Guevarra refused to be lured into a finger-pointing game and identify who should be blamed for the Good Conduct Time Allowance (GCTA) law mess.

“We at the DOJ won’t dwell on things that had come to pass, much less waste our time on an unproductive blame game,” he told reporters on Tuesday .

At the orders of President Rodrigo Duterte, the Ombudsman is currently conducting an investigation over the implementation of Republic Act 10592 due to concerns undeserving convicts may have benefited from the law and allowed early release. The Ombudsman has already written to the detained senator to explain why the implementing rules and regulations of 10592 which was made when she was still justice secretary in 2014 did not enumerate those disqualified to benefit from the law.

Meanwhile, Guevarra and Department of Interior and Local Government Secretary Eduardo Año signed on Monday the revised IRR which clearly defined that those excluded from benefiting from the law are recidivists, habitual delinquents, escapists and those charged with heinous crimes.
