The former general of the General PNP General Police (R) Jorge Angulo greeted the approval by the Congress of the Republic of a rule that will allow him to Home Office Acquire – in a period of 180 days from their promulgation – goods and services directly to suppliers in order to modernize and equip the police and make it more efficient in their fight against crime.
According to the opinion approved unanimously, the Ministry of Interior is exonerated “exceptionally and temporarily” of norms that prevented it from making budgetary modifications charged to fuel, lubricant, spare parts and accessories, maintenance, etc..
“We have always longed for, in recent decades, to have this type of norms to modernize the institutional issue,” he said. However, he warned that “unfortunately we are a country in which there is a very serious history of corruption in terms of public purchases”, so it stated that it is a technical team that is responsible for the acquisitions in a transparent way.
Saving distances, Angulo took as a reference the constitution of the organizing committee of the 2019 Lima Olympic Games that was in charge of Carlos Neuhaus, and suggested the formation of a specialized team that guarantees transparent and suitable processes.
He warned that although the rule approved by the Legislative points out that the Comptroller General will carry out a concurrent control of the acquisition process, “there must be a technical team or a kind of tsar with ethical and moral transparency qualities to be able to monitor purchases.”
“It has to be a person or team that includes characters outside the Ministry of Interior so that they are there of veterans or can simply ensure that the processes will be transparent; but imagine the temptation with the history of corruption that we have, especially in public issues; this must necessarily be monitored, but thus with a very strong magnifying glass,” he emphasized.
How much is there and for what?
In statements a Peru21the retirement general also indicated that it must be known what is the availability of funds that the Ministry of Interior will have. “We have to see figures, knowing how much we are talking to see the magnitude of this famous modernization. The police have many years with many shortcomings. We are talking about a strong budget so that this strategy can be executed and implemented effectively and effectively,” he added. He also indicated that the 180 -day period could be “extremely short” given the magnitude of the requirements.
He also spoke of the granting of an “economic delivery for police personnel that voluntarily provides patrol services on foot, motorized and focused on investigation.”
He said that this measure is part of the so -called ceiling plan that the National Police designed at the time. “It is a plan that many years ago also executed in another government and had very positive results, especially under the domain approach, of territorial control. What does it mean? That obviously there will be a greater number of police officers in the public roads, especially for the preventive issue. The implementation can be done by the same institution, but obviously it will be needed equipment, vehicles, armament, control, monitoring, monitoring.”
