The position of Vice President Leni Robredo as co-chairman of the Inter-Agency Committee on Illegal Drugs (ICAD) has become untenable, said Senator Panfilo M. Lacson on Wednesday.

“Obviously, the President wants her out without firing her, meaning he is leaving up to her to take the initiative and tender her resignation,” he said.

Lacson, co-chairman of the Senate justice committee and former chairman of the Senate public order and dangerous drugs committee, stressed that responsibility without commensurate authority is a guaranteed formula for failure.
