“This is a monument to corruption, the people of Tacna must write down the names of those responsible to ban them”said Congressman Carlos Anderson regarding the construction of the Hipólito Unanue regional hospital in Tacna, which has been paralyzed for four years.

The parliamentarian visited the project on August 29 at 10:30 a.m. The work began in 2015 during the administration of former regional governor of Tacna Omar Jiménez and was halted during the administration of former governor Juan Tonconi in 2020.
“They should be shot”
“The truth is that if there were different laws, these would be people who should be shot, because what they have done here is a crime, the numbers are mind-boggling, they are hundreds of millions of soles.”said the parliamentarian, recalling that the work began with a budget of 279 million soles and has meant an outlay of 650 million and is still not finished.

He also regretted that there is a risk that the work will end up not working, since studies are being carried out to evaluate the effectiveness of the seismic isolators.
Increased budgets
“What if the studies say that the isolators simply do not work? What I am saying is that we have to start preparing. We really need prevention work, a contingency plan.”Anderson noted.
He also referred to the need for Congress to eliminate the concept of organized crime. “It’s just that the friends of criminals are working for their friends, I think it’s very bad, I voted against it, society has to demand it from its congressmen,” The congressman stressed. He said that this would be a modus operandi in different projects in the country. He gave as an example the Talara Refinery, which was initially a renovation that would only cost 1.43 billion dollars and which in the end, with extensions, ended up costing 7 billion.
