With the majority support of the new Assembly, the National Water and Sewer Institute (IDAAN) will have engineer Rutilio Villarreal as the new executive director of this important institution for 5 years concurrent with the presidential term. Likewise, the vote was granted to the board of directors.
The deputies, who supported it with 59 votes in favor, one against and one abstention, in the supporting phase, stated that the new administration, which will govern the destiny of IDAAN, will face important challenges aimed at guaranteeing accessible and quality drinking water to the thousands of Panamanians who demand it.
The debate on the opinions on such a designation was concluded by giving the vote of confidence to the official who was to find the roots of the poor supply of the vital liquid.
