DIS officers reject Director General Magosi's explanation for P7.4 million payout

Former government security officers, now part of the Directorate of Intelligence and Security DIS, are pressing the agency to be held in contempt of a Tribunal order. This action follows explanations from Director General Peter Magosi regarding a P7.4 million payout. The case stems from a February 2022 ruling by the Tribunal on Intelligence and Security, which mandated the DIS to compensate 106 officers for unpaid employment benefits, including overtime, salary adjustments, and housing allowances accumulated over several years. Although the DIS subsequently disbursed approximately P7.4 million, the officers contend that the agency did not adhere to the terms of the order, citing issues with both the payment methods and the amounts received.
