NEEDS
This call has maximum and minimum amounts. In other words, the maximum amount is G. 1,376 million, but fewer resources could be used.
Sources from the Supreme Court of Justice (CSJ), which we prefer not to mention, informed us that the Palace of Justice in Asunción has many shortcomings in furniture. Therefore, this call does not reflect all the need for furniture required by the entity.
It is only an estimate of what can be purchased but does not reflect the real need of the entity.
The furniture that will be replaced is that which has decomposed, broken, or been written off in the last few years. These are mainly chairs and desks. In the Courts and underground is where the need is most seen.
The CSJ has had the property problem for five years. Two years ago they bought furniture for the Public Registry but this only served to mitigate the need, considering that the other dependencies continue to need furniture.
