Arnulfo Gasca Trujillo, former governor of the department of Caquetá, and the former secretary of infrastructure, Jairo Alberto Gómez Roa, were sanctioned for irregularities in the structuring of an investment project and execution of the contract financed by the General Royalties System (SGR).
In a first instance ruling, the Public Ministry confirmed that the former president approved and made viable a project capitalized by SGR for the development of hydraulic adaptation and recovery works of the El Guamal bridge and the banks of the La Perdiz ravine in the urban area of Florencia.
In turn, the entity confirmed that the work did not meet the conditions and technical criteria required for its development, according to what is established in the standard for the design of bridges; In addition, it was also found that the disciplined person did not control and monitor the supervision of the construction contract, which consequently generated deficiencies in the execution and delivery of incomplete buildings.
