(iv) THAT there is a delay in the investigation of misappropriation of funds by the EACC regional office which resulted in the culprits going scot-free and it remains an injustice to the local residents; and (v) THAT the petitioners have made all efforts to have this matter investigated and resolved including reporting it to the Commission on Administrative Justice, whose response has not been satisfactory.
