Next, the second vice-president of the Parliament, Henry Wong (not grouped), asserted that the next head of the Midagri must be a technician and not a politician.
Also, Congresswoman Carol Walls (Popular Action), who is also president of the Ethics Commission, emphasized that Javier Arce shouldn’t have taken Midagri due to their inexperience in the sector.
