Pumanaw si Jimenez kahapon sa edad na 68 dahil sa aortic aneurysm.
Ayon kay Presidential Spokesman Harry Roque, malaki ang naitulong ni Jimenez sa administrasyon ni Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte.
“PACC Chair Jimenez spent most of his productive life advocating a just and peaceful society for Filipinos by fighting criminality and corruption. He believed and shared President Rodrigo Roa Duterte’s centerpiece program, which is, the campaign against illegal drugs, crime and corruption, and had served the Duterte Administration as Chair of PACC and Co-Chair of the Inter-Agency Committee on Anti-Illegal Drugs (ICAD). He would be dearly missed,” pahayag ni Roque.
Sinabi naman ni Chief Presidential Legal Counsel Salvador Panelo na nakalulungkot ang pagpanaw ni Jimenez.
“Chairman Jimenez’s drive against graft and corruption started even before he was appointed to the PACC. He was crusader against criminality and corruption of our country, having served as the founding chairman of the advocacy group, Volunteers Against Crime and Corruption,” pahayag ni Panelo.
“Trusting his competence and passion for public service and genuine social change, President Rodrigo Roa Duterte appointed him to lead the fight against graft and corruption. His strength and zeal will be missed as we continue our campaign against criminality and corruption, among others,” dagdag ni Panelo.
Kaisa aniya ang Palasyo sa pamilya at mga kaibigan ni Jimenez sa pananalangin.
