While presiding over the ceremony, Senator Veneziano Vital do Rêgo (MDB-PB) highlighted the importance of the role of the TCU. According to him, the Court’s work has proved to be essential for the consolidation of Brazilian democracy, by allowing society to have access to information on the management of public resources, helping to identify and correct irregularities and improving transparency and accountability. “The body is also one of the greatest collaborators of this Legislative Power in the process of implementing public policies and in the search for solutions to the challenges faced by our country”, he recalled.
