ANDIn line with this conviction, the Government has announced a series of measures aimed at identifying, documenting and combating any signs of corruption, in order to facilitate the independent and effective work of the Attorney General’s Office, but it omits to give some explanation about the revelations given by Sneyder Pinilla, about the money given to the president of the Senate, Iván Name, and the president of the House of Representatives, Andrés Calle.
One of the priorities of the National Government is the fight against corruption in all its forms. In this sense, President Petro has ordered the creation of a Technical Coordination Board specifically in charge of coordinating actions to document cases of misuse of public resources. This high-level group will be chaired by a specialized agency and will have the participation of the Presidency of the Republic, the Transparency Secretariat, the National Judicial Defense Agency and specialized external auditors.
The Technical Table will seek to establish close collaboration with the United States embassy in Colombia, with the objective of strengthening international cooperation in the exchange of information, especially in the identification of international capital derived from acts of corruption.
In addition, the Government has requested the collaboration of other control bodies such as the Attorney General’s Office and the Comptroller General’s Office, who will accompany the initiative to guarantee independence and competence in the supervision and control of government actions.
The National Judicial Defense Agency will play a fundamental role in providing all necessary collaboration to the Attorney General’s Office from its jurisdiction.
The Technical Board will also ensure that the Government adopts a scheme of good corporate integrity practices, guaranteeing compliance with the highest ethical standards and full collaboration with the competent authorities to ensure transparency and accountability in all spheres of government.
