MANILA – The Office of the Ombudsman has filed a graft charge against former Palawan Rep. Abraham Mitra and 11 others in connection with the fertilizer fund scam.
The Ombudsman said Mitra conspired with Palawan regional officers and non-governmental organization Gabay Masa Dev't Foundation Inc. in the anomalous release of funds.
Mitra allegedly selected Gabay Masa to implement a P3 million fertilizer fund project despite lack of qualification.
Mitra is now chairman of the Games and Amusements Board (GAB), an office under the Office of the President.
