Lie detector test is what we need

Who's lying? Who's telling the truth?

This is the quandary that the senators are facing after surprise witness Leo San Miguel revealed that he knew nothing about alleged multimillion-dollar kickbacks in the $329 million broadband deal with China's ZTE Corp.San Miguel, who was dubbed by his own employee Dante Madriaga as a member of the "Greedy Group++", contradicted earlier testimonies of Senate witnesses Joey de Venecia III, Rodolfo Noel "Jun" Lozada and Madriaga.Describing himself as a technical consultant, San Miguel said he had no direct knowledge of any advanced commissions being given out by ZTE officials including an alleged $41 million bribe given to the First Couple and other officials involved in the deal.Sen. Mar Roxas, chairman of the Senate Committee on Trade and Commerce, said he will look for a foreign expert who will credibly administer lie detector tests on San Miguel and the three Senate witnesses. He said this will show who is lying about the alleged kickbacks in the deal."One said it’s red; the other one said it's black. It would be better to subject them to lie detector tests," Roxas said.Madriaga told senators during Tuesday's hearing that San Miguel emailed him about the "tong-pats," a jargon for commission, in the NBN deal, which the cable TV guy denied.San Miguel denied that he discussed kickbacks with former election commission chairman Benjamin Abalos Sr. and businessman Ruben Reyes, the two other alleged members of the so-called Greedy Group.He added, however, that kickbacks in the national broadband deal was logical. "I'm not trying to be difficult. I'm just saying I don't know. I don't have direct knowledge but logic states maybe there is, I just don't know," San Miguel told senators.De Venecia and Lozada separately told reporters at the Senate that San Miguel was lying about the kickbacks."Leo knows about the advances. Is he lying? Yes!" De Venecia said.Lozada, meanwhile, said, "The technical part of the project was not discussed [during the meetings], it was money."San Miguel said he saw De Venecia and Lozada in some of the meetings that he attended with the Chinese executives of ZTE Corp. He said he attended the meetings as a technical expert but denied any involvement in the transactions..I would like them to have a lie detector test to see who is telling the truth and who is protecting something. this issue that the whole nation is seeking for the truth should have an honest answers. 'so that we can decide whether this government should continue to 2010 or or peoplel immediately will put an end.
