The appointment of Richard Washington Tineo Quispe as Minister of Transport and Communications (MTC) in September 2022, it opened the door to a takeover of the institution by retired soldiers. Since his election at least a dozen profile staff designations occurred military in key positions within this portfolio.
One of them is the head of the MTC advisory cabinet, brigadier general Miguel Arturo Balta Sevillano. General Julio César Tisoc Saldarriaga was also appointed as adviser 2 and General José Luis Vigil León as secretary of the MTC. What he would worry about is that these ex-military personnel do not have the requirements to assume a position in this ministry.
Meanwhile, General Prospero Otoniel Díaz Arrue was hired as executive director of the Pan American and Parapan American Games Legacy Special Project, Brigadier General Francisco Quevedo Mogollón was appointed as executive director of the Decentralized Transport Infrastructure Special Project – Decentralized Provias, and General José Luis Gómez Sánchez as an advisor, who previously served as head of the Army Psychological Operations School when he was active, revealed “Punto final”.
Meanwhile, Brigadier General Jorge Alberto Hidalgo Calle took over as director of Civil Aeronautics Certifications and Authorizations, Colonel Miguel Ángel Aguirre Córdova as director of the Directorate of Aviation Safety, Captain Alejandro Ismael Alarco Cárcamo as head of the Volunteer Office of Legacy, Rolando Capucho Cárdenas as director of the Office of Policies and Regulation in Communications, Carlos Germán Mariaca Lira in the direction of the Office of Technological and Digital Development, and Luis Alberto Carranza as Director of Integrity and Fight against Corruption.
When asked if the profile of these retired soldiers is the most suitable for the positions they occupy in the MTC, Eduardo Alfaro Esparza, director of the Human Resources Management Office of the Ministry of Transport, warned that all the aforementioned cases they meet the norm to be hired despite the fact that some of them do not have the necessary experience for the position to which they were appointed.
“We base ourselves on the norm, it says two years as a manager and it is two years as a manager. It can even be years of management in the private sector and it does not even have to be related to the subject and the person meets the requirement, ”he explained to“ Final point ”.
In this regard, former Vice Minister Fabiola Caballero explained that the military experience that these retired soldiers have is different from what is required in a portfolio as important as the MTC. “They have another form of organization, the design of their plans and their strategies is another logic,” she told the Sunday.
Finally, the new minister Richard Tineo was affiliated between the years 2020 and 2021 to the Unión por el Perú Political Party, a group whose flag was the liberation of Antauro Humala.
