The Independent Commission for Infrastructure (ICI) clarified on Tuesday, October 28, that it has not sent any invitation to Senator Bong Go to appear before the commission as a resource person.

Former senator Sonny Trillanes claimed he received information that Senator Bong Go was invited by the commission but allegedly refused to attend, saying he would only appear if Senators Imee Marcos and Bato dela Rosa accompanied him “para may tiga-abogado sa kanya.”

Trillanes earlier filed complaints before the ICI and the Office of the Ombudsman regarding the P7-billion worth of government infrastructure contracts awarded to the company owned by Go’s family.

Excellent work, Rappler. But we still have to wait for the last five "special" senators. What is the reason behind such a delay? Will Rappler ask them about the reason behind their delayed submission?
