The Ministry of the Presidency, headed by the Vice President of the Republic and Minister of the Presidency, José Gabriel Carrizo, claims to be unaware of the number of appointments made by the government in the state machinery.
The Vice Minister of the Presidency, Carlos García Molina, in a note sent to the lawyer Ernesto Cedeño last Friday, June 10, stated that in the Ministry of the Presidency there are no statistics on how many people, members of the PRD, have been appointed since June 1 July 2019 to the present day in public offices.
These responses came to Cedeño a month after he sent a 10-question questionnaire to the Ministry of the Presidency on the use of the official form to appoint personnel of the ruling PRD. This, after the prosecutor Rigoberto González announced the closure of an administrative investigation on this matter, as a result of the fact that Vice Minister García himself denied the existence of an appointment table for members of the PRD.
García also added that the “Ministry of the Presidency has no knowledge of appointments suggested by deputies, nor if they have been taken into account in the public sector.”
He specified that the statistics of how many appointments and dismissals exist in each State institution is kept by the National Institute of Statistics and Census in conjunction with the Office of Economic Consulting, of the Comptroller’s Office.
