In this sense, Delgado indicated that it is about doctors, teachers Y military that, due to the nature of their profession, they can work for several government entities and said entities carry out their payroll relationship individually.
“They serve in several hospitalsin the case of doctorsand each hospital registers them on its payroll, which is why here we see it as one more salary,” he commented.
When asked if the amount of public servers increased during the current year, declared that government jobs have a different dynamic and the Treasury is not the one that handles these issues. “I don’t handle that data,” said the national treasurer.
The official specified that each ministry and decentralized entities detail the composition of their payroll and that the entity in charge of collecting these data is the Ministry of Public Administration (MAP).
