The National Association of Young Entrepreneurs (ANJE) considered that a reform of the Law of Public Procurement and the Law of the Chamber of Accountsin order to achieve greater transparency and institutionality in the State.
He hopes that from the legislature that begins on February 27, the initiative will be taken to make these modifications so that they can be debated and known in Congress.
A modification of the Chamber of Accounts Law should give them tools that allow them to perform their functions, said the president of the business union, Jaime Senior, when participating in the Economic Meeting TODAY.
He stressed that the Chamber of Accounts is a body that most people do not appreciate and that it is the supervisory body of the State, not the Government, because it supervises even constitutional bodies, such as the Central Electoral Board, the Judiciary and Congress.

The current law of the Chamber of Accounts, of 2010, does not confer any power to sanction or order to require that they deliver information, he maintains. He affirmed that it is intended that the reports of the Chamber of Accounts have probative power that allows sanctions for proven crimes against the treasury.
Senior was accompanied by four members of the ANJE board of directors: Christian Cabral, first vice president; José Nelton González, second vice president; Sol Disla, executive director, and Karina Mancebo, vice treasurer.
