Pandemic abuses proliferate

In 10 months of the pandemic, we have witnessed all kinds of abuses. It seems that, for some pathological reason, the Government cannot adhere to the fulfillment of norms, transparency and common sense to avoid the – presumed – corruption in public contracting and administrative management. It acts as if price premiums, influence peddling and inability (of suppliers and contracting entities) are unavoidable. And no idea of ​​the inventory or the quantities at stake, because the Ministry of the Presidency, which in May said that it would report on pandemic purchases on Wednesdays, never did. If in bonds and digital vouchers $ 543 million have been allocated until last December, who knows what the disbursement in supplies, medical equipment, modules and other purchases and services contracted under the state of emergency.

It is inadmissible that the Public Ministry does not lead the investigations that would allow to know the amount and who are the authors and beneficiaries of the robbery. If you cannot do it, ask the Public Prosecutor’s Office or call a citizen oversight, but do something, earn your salary. LA PRENSA .Jan. 24.
