The appointment at the end of 2022 of the director of Comfamiliar del Huila, Juan Carlos Carvajal, yesterday cost the superintendent of the Family Subsidy, Luis Guillermo Pérez, the dismissal from his position. The Attorney General’s Office also disqualified Pérez Casas for 12 years.
The Attorney General’s Office yesterday dismissed the superintendent of the Family Subsidy, Luis Guillermo Pérez, due to circumstances surrounding the appointment in 2022 of the director of the Huila Family Compensation Fund, Comfamiliar del Huila, Juan Carlos Carvajal Rodríguez.
The disciplinary sanction also includes a general disqualification for a period of 12 years.
The decision was made by the disciplinary prosecutor in charge, Yolanda Reyes Niño.
The reasons
According to the control entity, Pérez Casas issued Resolution 0679 of October 14, 2022, through which he modified the second and third articles of another Resolution, 0275 of May 13 of the same year, which established the procedure that determined the rules related to the registration, appointment, setting of fees, possession, functions, obligations, monitoring, sanctions and replacement of the administrative directors and special intervention agents of the country’s family compensation funds.
This episode, said the Attorney General’s Office, “discovered the list of those eligible for the positions of administrative directors and intervention agents of the savings banks” that are under the control of the national government, including Huila. This list was recorded in a third administrative act, Resolution 0498 of August 5, 2022.
With the Resolution he issued in October, Pérez Casas was left with the power to include any citizen who aspires to these positions at any time and then, if appropriate, be appointed. With this ‘power’, the superintendent included, through Resolution 750 of November 2, 2022, Juan Carlos Carvajal Rodríguez, whom he designated the next day, under Resolution 0758, as director of Comfamiliar del Huila.
The Attorney General’s Office alleged that the superintendent “by issuing Resolution 0679 of October 14, 2022 without constitutional, legal or regulatory justification, manifestly ignored Resolution 0498 of August 5, 2022, which contained the list of eligibles, which was mandatory. and unchangeable.”
‘Ear pulling’
“It was proven that it was their duty to abide by and respect the list of eligible administrative directors and special intervention agents. As a qualified lawyer with experience in public administration, I knew that administrative acts have certain effects,” said the attorney, Reyes Niño.
Due to these events, Superintendent Luis Guillermo Pérez has been suspended since the beginning of November 2023 and will continue to be removed from office. The sanction of dismissal and disqualification is of first instance.
