The Office of the Vice President's (OVP) Chief of Staff, Zuleika Lopez, is facing a contempt order from the House Committee on Good Government and Public Accountability.

This decision came after Lopez reportedly failed to provide sufficient answers to lawmakers’ questions during a hearing on the use of confidential funds. The committee members cited non-compliance with directives as the primary reason for the order.

Lopez has yet to issue a statement on the matter, while the OVP reiterated its commitment to cooperating with legislative inquiries. The committee's actions underscore the growing scrutiny over public spending and accountability in government offices.
