The first days of the month of October 2023, a national trim scandal broke The capital.
Before citizen outrage, the authorities of the Parliament were responsible for denying the lavish construction indicating that there was no technical file or budget, so the work, although possible, had no date in sight.
Is it true that Congress does not have such a millionaire investment in mind? No, it’s not true.
On January 30, 2025, less than ten days ago, the Logistics Department of the Congress of the Republic issued the service order No. 74 in favor of the Máxima Salazar Vivanco archaeologist for an amount of more than 141,000 soles to make a “Consulting Service for the Development of the Archaeological Evaluation Project (PEA) for the elaboration of the Technical File of the Project ‘Construction of the Training and Parliamentary Studies Center’, Santa María del Mar district.”
Exactly, The Congress will allocate S/141,354.21 to continue with the project and have its beach training center.
In the service order you accessed Peru21it is observed that the execution period will be 125 calendar days, and that the payments to Salazar will be according to the presentation of the deliverables described in the terms of reference, although it is transferred in advance 30% of the amount of the contract.
The document signed the coordinator of the Functional Purchasing Group of Congress, Nélida Gálvez Saldaña; the head of the Procurement Programming and Management Area, Jenniffer Elizabeth Chambio Hermosa; and the head of the supply department, Carlos Alberto Pingus Gomes.
Who was then the general director of Administration of Congress, the former congressman Marisol Espinoza, mentioned in RPP that “there is not even a technical file for this project, there is no profile, budget, nor an inverted sun.”
He also said that the project went through the parliamentary efforts of the years 2011-2016 and 2016-2021 and that “no one will dare to build” the infrastructure for the rejection it generates. It seems that the management of Eduardo Sallejuana Think differently.
As he revealed Fourth Power In December 2023, the National Superintendence of State Assets (SBN) delivered in assignment the land of 35 thousand square meters to Congress with the commitment to carry out the project and design of its training center, with a capacity for 4,000 people, within a maximum period of two years. Otherwise, I would return to the possession of the SBN.
Indolent expense
How necessary is a millionaire expense of this type? The former senior officer of the César Delgado Güembes Congress said that “those who must worry about political, constitutional and parliamentary training are political parties.”
“The level of the training carried out by Congress is mediocre or of doubtful academic level. Investing in a place in a ‘apitucado’ spa is a banal alternative. It would be better for the entire Congress to move to another place in the interior of the country, such as Cerro de Pasco, Ñahuimpuquio, Huancavelica, Puno or Madre de Dios, to develop its task in greater proximity to the most depressed areas of the country, ”he told Peru21.
For his part, the constitutionalist lawyer and specialist in parliamentary issues Alejandro Rappigliosi said that “a training center is not necessary from the city.”
“Any private university can give a face -to -face or virtual training to any worker of the Congress. I believe in semiannual and mandatory training, but I do not believe in the dilapidation of public resources. What you tell me is not a training center; It is a am beach house, ”he noted.
Those responsible, he continued, are the board of directors of the Congress, chaired by sash, and the comptroller general, who They could be accused of constitutional infraction by the next Parliament.
