The deputies of the Legislative Assembly in the 153rd plenary session, approved with 65 votes in favor the final report prepared by the deputies of the Special Commission to investigate the bonuses.
“With 65 votes in favor, we approve the final report of the #CommissionXBonuses on the officials and natural or legal persons of previous governments who received bonuses from 1989 to 2019, which came from the secret allocation of the Presidency of the Republic,” mentioned the Legislative Assembly.
The findings made by the working group, in 2021, reveal that past administrations created an illegal mechanism to benefit dozens of former officials from different State institutions with additional payments to their salaries.
“As an Assembly we have complied with what the law empowers us to do, we hope that the work of the authorities continues to deepen, because there is still a lot to investigate. It is time for those who made public funds a checkbook for their luxuries and privileges to finally pay. They have to return what was stolen and that is where the consequences must end,” said deputy Ernesto Castro.
