The plenary session of Congress scheduled for Monday, September 5, the questioning of the Minister of Transport and Communications, Geiner Alvarado Lopez, twice. There are two approved motions and add up to a total of 23 questions about their links with Yenifer Paredes, Mayor Jose Nenil Medina and the Espino brothers. On the fly and appears in the shadow of a possible censorship.
The first motion is authored by Norma Yarrow (Avanza País). The interpellatory statement emphasizes Geiner Alvarado’s passage through the Ministry of Housing.
And it is that this minister assumed the Housing portfolio as soon as the Government of Pedro Castillo began, with Guido Bellido at the head of the cabinet.
Then it lasted in the efforts of Mirtha Vásquez, the ephemeral Héctor Valer and when Aníbal Torres became the Presidency of the Council of Ministers (PCM). It was only on August 5 that he passed to the Transport sector.
Namely, This is a character who enjoys the extreme confidence of President Castillo, which is why it has lasted in a space characterized rather by instability.
The links
In the first motion approved yesterday in plenary, legislator Yarrow (AP) formulated 14 questions. “How many works did you assign to the districts of Anguía and Chadín (Cajamarca), and Cajatambo (Lima), as Minister of Housing?” is one of the questions and they also ask him to specify the amounts and the bidders.
As well as reporting if you had any employment or professional relationship with JJM Espino Engineering and Construction SAC, Destcon Engineers and Architects SAC and Consorcio Gorgor.
Another question that can help in inquiries is about the meetings he had with the first lady Lilia Paredes, in addition to Yenifer Paredes, the businessmen Espino and the mayor José Nenil Medina.
They will also ask how many tax investigations you have. In fact, Geiner Alvarado reported in her affidavit three investigations for alleged incompatible negotiation, document falsification and crime against the public administration. To this is added an administrative sanction issued in 2019 in the Amazon region.
The second motion was approved yesterday afternoon and its main author is Ruth Luque (Democratic Change).
The parliamentarian asks to specify the reason for the meeting she had with businessman Hugo Espino, in September 2021.
Something additional that the minister will have to clarify is why he had Salatiel Marrufo as head of the advisory cabinet, who was previously an advisor to the mayor of Anguía, the now detained José Nenil Medina.
possible censorship
The current Minister of Transport, Geiner Alvarado, He will go to the Plenary, in the context of the fiscal investigation where they point him out as an alleged member of a criminal organization.
Legislator Diego Bazán, of course, estimates that the next step would be censorship. At least that is the position that has already been adopted by the majority in its Avanza País bench.
Ruth Luque (CD) points out that the issue has not been addressed in her parliamentary group, but personally she does consider that the minister should be censured. Such a position is in line with the public request that he made for Alvarado to resign from office.
The interpellation motions were signed by congressmen from nine benches. And there were 87 votes that supported the challenge, including Peru Libre. Everything points to a possible censorship.
reactions
Ruth Luque, Democratic Change-JP
“In a personal capacity, I think (Geiner Alvarado) should not continue in office. He cannot continue in the midst of the investigation that the Prosecutor’s Office has opened. That’s why I asked for his resignation.”
Diego Bazán, Advance Country
“Mr. Geiner Alvarado does not inspire confidence in Housing, because he can nullify evidence that compromises Juan Silva. In addition, this sector manages a lot of budget”.
