The mobilization expenses enjoyed by some officials in the country were permanently eliminated for mayors, councilors and representatives, reported the Comptroller General of the Republic.
Through circular No. 8-2022-DC-DNFG, the Comptroller of the Republic Gerardo Solís, informed the authorities of local governments at the national level, the heads, deputy heads, the coordinator of Multisectoral Prosecution and control supervisors in the municipalities, that this benefit has been eliminated.
