The Comptroller General of the Republic (CGR) instructed two administrative summaries to the Presidential Delegation of Tarapacá, after an investigation into the public resources used in the food service to the migrant population located in the temporary device of Playa Lobito, in the commune of Iquique, between March and September 2023.
The audit was carried out, considering the facts reported by the Tarapacá deputy, Renzo Trisotti, in relation to the contracting modality for the provision of food delivery services to people who are living in the camp and/or shelter with financing from the Undersecretary of the Interior and executed by the Regional Presidential Delegation of Tarapacá.
The parliamentarian indicated that “there are differences in the rations delivered, where there are some that are not accredited by the Delegation, which are almost 4,000, and that are even owed to the supplier. Therefore, an administrative summary has been ordered.”
“At the same time, in this million-dollar contract there is not even a guarantee of faithful compliance with the contract as is required of all types of State contracting, and which to this day has not been fulfilled. There are still people with the power to transfer public resources, State resources, but who are no longer part of the Presidential Delegation. This is very serious because it shows a lack of supervision, a lack of management, a lack of control,” he added.
The Final Report details that the Tarapacá Delegation received from the Undersecretariat of the Interior more than 751 million for emergency expenses, consisting of the food service for migrants who entered and stayed in the temporary shelter of Playa Lobito to count. from March 16, 2023 and for a period of six months.
According to the document, it was evident that the Delegation received 74,978 food rations contracted from a supplier to be distributed in the migrant facility. Meanwhile, as of November 7, 2023, the entity paid the value of 71,070 rations, that is, 324 million corresponding to those reported in the lists of food delivery to migrants, producing a difference of 3,908 rations not paid to the supplier. , for the sum of 17 million, and the final destination of those owed rations was not proven.
The Comptroller’s Office stated that this did not comply with article 95 of the entity and the rules of Procedures on Accountability, for which reason it requested to initiate an administrative summary to determine the possible administrative responsibility of the officials who had to ensure the correct administration of said resources.
On the other hand, of the 71,070 food rations paid for by the Delegation, and supported with food delivery lists, the Comptroller’s Office observed a difference in counting of less than 9,888 rations for the sum of 46 million, as a result of differences detected in accountability. which does not coincide with article 95, and resolution 30 of the control entity, therefore, the Delegation must include this fact in the administrative summary previously ordered.
The auditing entity also confirmed that the Presidential Delegation of Tarapacá presented the guarantee of faithful compliance after the entry into force of the agreement and the provision of services, for this reason it established the beginning of an administrative summary to determine the responsibilities for the delay. in the presentation of said guarantee for the contract.
