Ethical Hearing of Council Member Underway

0
The disciplinary process for a council member accused of ethical violations has now reached the stage of an ethical hearing. During the managed meeting, it was revealed that dismissal would only occur after the initial penalties are enforced. The impetus behind the alleged dismissal is the decision to hold an appeal hearing, which will take place in two phases. First, within 30 days, an appeal commission will be appointed, and in the following 30 days, they will review the appeal memorandum submitted by the involved parties. Five cases of ethical violations are set to be examined during this re-trial. One council member has even reached out to the National Police Chief, urging an acceleration of the legal proceedings, along with a threat to report to the President if swift action is not taken. This meeting reflects concerns about public trust and the hope for transparency in the process. The public also has the means to report this situation to the authorities. This process aims to ensure that the wheels of governance run smoothly, holding all parties within the legal system accountable and transparent.
