OPINION: Stink of corruption in Social Security

The Social Security Fund (CSS) is the largest budget institution in the Panamanian State.

Its funds come from the contributions that workers, companies, and taxpayers, make to the operation of the entity to through the central government. That’s why it hurts that the miasma of corruption and bureaucracy that dominates the internal processes of the CSS allowed the irregular affiliation of people who should not be insured They passed themselves off as domestic servants, car washers, and other honest trades very possibly with dark and dangerous ends. The highest authorities of the CSS, including its board of directors and its general director, must conduct the investigations, audits, and complaints to save the institution from those corruption networks that have captured some of the key functions of the CSS. Although investigative journalism contributes to documenting acts of corruption, only permanent surveillance and good care of the resources of the CSS by its own staff can ensure that this valuable entity does not sink into the swamp of negotiated opacity.
