CRISIS:  Call for cabinet renewal and comptroller exit

The crisis facing Panama is not a temporary problem, but a social explosion resulting from institutionalized abuses, with historical arrogance, and the usual injustices said Ricardo Lombama, president of the Movimiento Otro Camino (Another Path) collective on Sunday,  July 24.

“Panama needs a president who stops the looting that Panama and Panamanians have been suffering for decades,” Lombana said.

He reiterated the call to the president to commit himself before the citizens to execute cuts and concrete measures to contain public spending that will generate some credibility and restore calm throughout the national territory.

The movement also proposes the renewal of the cabinet, the resignation of the Comptroller General putting an end to the state of emergency decreed in March 2020 due to the covid-19 health crisis, and, auditing all the expenses incurred.

In the same way, carry out a human resources audit of forms 080 and 172 of the National Assembly and reduce the cost of government operations by at least 15%.

“We understand that not all problems can be solved immediately, but the gravity of the moment demands and imposes that immediate decisions be made that move us in the right direction.”
