Comptroller orders audit of $13 billion public projects

PANAMA  Comptroller, Gerardo Solís, has ordered an audit of the $13 billion invested in public works in the last 10 years.

“As it is possible that the public debt rose to approximately $32 billion while $13 billion was in public works … we will see how much their value really was, ”said Solis.

The statements came during a work tour of Veraguas, where he met with staff of the Comptroller in the province.

Solís also indicated that there are works  in Veraguas that “are wrong, like many other works in the country.”
