The late Marco Antonio Aramayo, who was director of the Development Fund for Native Indigenous Peoples and Peasant Communities (Fondioc) between September 2013 and February 2015 and who denounced the millionaire embezzlement in that institution, said in his lifetime that “Not a single hair moved in the Indigenous Fund without the authorization of Nemesia Achacollo and she is free and unpunished”. And when he was already in prison, he noted that more than 200 trials were opened against him, “I need 700 years in prison.”
Aramayo denounced that the Movement Towards Socialism (MAS) used resources from the Indigenous Fund for a political campaign, ghost works and disbursements in personal accounts, among others.
In addition, he warned that the former Minister of Rural Development Nemesia Achacollo took part in a series of irregularities.
Aramayo requested an audit to curb corruption, But this came to nothing, since, before the appearance of the irregular case, the first thing that was done was to remove Aramayo and appoint an intervener in his place, Lariza Fuentes.
“I am the person who denounced the case of the Indigenous Fund and that is why today I am subjected to a macabre strategy, to a fanatical persecution”Aramayo argued.
Unlike Aramayo, who faced more than 250 complaints, the Prosecutor’s Office opened a single process against the former minister which is still in the investigation phase, despite the fact that she, in her capacity as minister, was president of the Board of Directors of the Indigenous Fund and benefited dozens of leaders of social organizations with projects, according to the complaints.
Many of these projects were not executed. Achacollo has been under house arrest since 2017, but she has been seen at MAS political rallies.
“Not a hair moved in the Indigenous Fund without the authorization of Nemesia Achacollo and she is free and unpunished in this country (…) She was the one who approved the 3,462 projects for more than five billion, authorized the financing of 1,100 projects worth 729 million bolivianos. These projects did not come out for National Unity (UN) or for the MNR, they came out for those affiliated with social organizations related to MAS,” Aramayo said in a recent interview.
After the death of Marco Antonio Aramayo, it became known that The entire leadership of former authorities and leaders of the MAS were released, some with substitute measures and others with unrestricted freedom, within the case for the millionaire embezzlement of the indigenous institution.
Aramayo had identified four leaders as responsible for the delivery of money that caused the millionaire embezzlement in that state enterprise.
“Rodolfo Machaca (Csutcb), Ever Choquehuanca (Intercultural), Juanita Ancieta (Bartolinas) and Hilarión Mamani (Conamaq)They exercised physical violence, they went with their whip to the Indigenous Fund, they exercised psychological and verbal violence, they were the owners of the Indigenous Fund and I was their employee,” said Aramayo.
former director He spent seven years in prison and faced more than 200 trials for corruption.. His condition worsened over the weekend when he suffered a cardiorespiratory arrest and later multi-organ failure. He died early Tuesday morning inside an intensive care room at the Cotahuma Hospital in La Paz.
“They opened trials for me, that means that I need 700 years in jail, the Public Ministry is going to build a mausoleum for me in prison,” Aramayo said during his lifetime.
