Anti Impunity group and horse picket Comptroller

THE GROUP,  Citizens Against Impunity, arrived at the Offices of Panama’s Comptroller on Wednesday March 15 accompanied by a horse as they set up a picket  to demand audits of all works executed by Odebrecht in Panama.

The horse, “Abanderado”, a reference to the feast of St. Joseph of David was an incentive to supporters to tun up and  take a selfie with the horse.

According to Citizens Against Impunity, the audits are necessary to determine whether there were overcharges and “other contractual anomalies.”

The protesters said that the audits are urgent and

necessary “so that the citizenship can know the truth and can recover confidence in institutions.”

The group reminded Comptroller Federico Humbert that the “decent” sector of the country is frustrated by so much “corruption and impunity,” as well as the silence from within the government.

In addition to the protest, a letter  demanding the audits  and signed by Alfredo Bustos, Olimpo Sáez and Guillermo Márquez Amado, was sent to Humbert,
