THE House Committee on Judiciary and Governmental Operations will reopen the legislative investigation into the public expenditures of Gov. Ralph DLG Torres, committee chair Celina Babauta said.
She added that it will be a continuation of the investigation conducted by the 21st House which included a report by the then-minority bloc on their findings and recommendations for oversight, reform, and continued investigation.
In the report, it was  noted that over 100 trips were taken by the governor and his companions, costing roughly $500,000 in premium-class airfare, per diem, stipends, lodging, and ground or boat transportation.
According to the then-minority bloc, CNMI law prohibits the use of public funds for premium-class airfare for any person.
