The lawyer Freddy Pitti, presented this Wednesday a request for access to information in the Municipality of Panama, to explain the increase in the entity’s payroll, results report, support, evidence of execution and motivations.
Pitti mentioned that it is important to send a message to the authorities that they are not perpetual and that if they do not fulfill their tasks, and are not transparent, there will be consequences.
“We are facing a citizenry that is no longer passive, that is willing to take action, is willing to go through the government route and demand to assert their rights,” he said.
In the document presented by the lawyer, information is also requested on the cut and elimination of subsidies to NGOs by the Municipality of Panama.
“Here there is a problem of transparency, here there are problems of communication and accountability of the mayor towards the country and how capable is the mayor of facing the administration of a city. I think that the mayor was left with a very big position a long time; in three years he showed us that he does not have the capacity, that he does not have the will to work for the good of the citizens,” he said.
