After the meeting of the board of directors of the Senate, the Agenda for the ordinary session of this Thursday was defined.
Most striking was the inclusion of three projects related to budget increases. These are two requests from the Treasury for US$ 200 million each for the financing of programs. While the remaining US$ 215 million is intended to be allocated to the Ministry of Public Works (MOPC) for conservation works on route 02 in the section crossing Nanawa with General Bruguez and accesses.
These resources will come from a loan approved by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) some time ago.
“This is an increased debt. What Congress approves is the budget appropriation. These three projects are what are called budget fit. An interesting discussion we had was that they are raised programmatically. That is to say, they request discretion to be able to apply to those they need, ”he said.
He noted that this is a difficult time to discuss these things. Since the concentration must be in the human resources of Health. Since, when the current wave of infections ends, the next one will come.
“We are going with great caution, a lot of debate. Control is the only guarantee that these resources are not used for electoral purposes”, he pointed out.
