Cebu City - Gi-refer sa Committee on Laws, Ordinance, and Styling sa konseho sa Syudad sa Sugbo ngadto sa Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) alang sa ilang opinion ang proposed ordinance sa nauna "prescribing procedure for the filing and disposition of administrative complaints batok sa Sangguniang Kabataan elective ug appointed officials."

Si Konsehal Jessica Resch, SK Federation President, maoy author sa maong proposed measure.

"There have several instances where complaints against Sangguniang Kabataan Councilors, Treasurers, and Secretaries are not acted upon and/or no such complaints, at all, have been formally instituted because of the absence of a mechanism on how it is done," unod sa proposed resolution.

"There is a need for an institutionalized procedure in holding the abovementioned public officials accountable for any misfeasance, malfeasance, or nonfeasance committed during their terms and to ensure, as well, a speedy and effective disposition of the complaints filed against them," dugang  pa niini.

Ang feature sa maong ordinansahon nagkanayon, " Section 2 of the proposed measure states cases/complaints against elective and appointive SK officials, excluding the chairperson, shall be filed with the SKF Office, who shall determine if the same is sufficient in substance and form."

Ang SKF mo duso sa complaint ngadto sa Sangguniang Panglungsod (SP) pinaagi sa Office of the SP Secretary.

Ubos sa Section 61 sa Local Government Code ug sa City Ordinance No. 1510, ang SP maoy proper venue pag atiman sa pagkasa ug administrative complaints batok ni bisan kinsang barangay official, ug ang desisyon isipon nga final ug executory.

Agi ug pag interpret sa mga existing relevant provision kini ilang gikonsidera, "The committee noted and agreed with the perambulatory clause of the ordinance that with the current provision of the Code and CO 1510, the avenue for filing of administrative complaints covers only elective barangay officials, the SK chairman, and excludes the SK councilors, treasurers, and secretaries."

Apan silent ang provision mahitungod sa SK Councilors, treasurer ug secretaries nga naka himo ug kalapasan.

Alang sa maong komitiba angay nga mangayo sila ug dugang opinion sa DILG alang sa maong katuyuan kalabot sa mga SK elective ug appointed officials. (Jhon Tadlip)
