The regional councilor Olanda Torres He clarified, first of all, that the councillors who travelled to Ucayali did so with the aim of continuing to strengthen the supervisory role and formulating a legislative initiative to modify the internal regulations of the Regional Council to allow for the censure of officials who do not act with integrity.

The counselor Edy Camacho She also spoke out and said that she and her other six colleagues had nothing to do with the return date on the plane ticket, since it was the officials of the Region, at the request of the CEO (Ever Cadenillas), who purchased the tickets.
