Cambioin.com Special Report
Both the comptroller Edna Margarita Murcia and the Representative Educardo Espinosa Palacios earn the same monthly salary as the mayor of Ibagué Johana Aranda, that is, 20 million 196 thousand 617 pesos, plus travel expenses and representation expenses. Everything so that they fulfill a management that they do not do.
In the case of the Ibagué comptroller, the function to be fulfilled is to supervise public resources, randomly look at contracts already made or in execution, analyze them first to ensure that there are no cost overruns, see in detail the findings of irregularities with administrative scope, which are to solve, disciplinary actions that could be sent to the attorney general’s office, and the prosecutors that must be prosecuted in the Attorney General’s Office, something that has not happened since the arrival of Edna Margarita Murcia, who has not carried out a single investigation, and therefore On the contrary, she has been involved in a series of corruption scandals, where even former mayor Andrés Hurtado denounced that she and her husband ask for contracts so as not to investigate. And recently the complaint made by Cambioin.com, the news portal, where at the comptroller’s birthday party this year, and where Mayor Johana Aranda was invited, an event where there was talk about the awarding of contracts for companies friends of the husband of the comptroller to avoid investigations. At least to date, Mrs. Edna Margarita Murcia Mejía has not commented on the contract for the 60th Street bridge with Carrera Quinta, or the contract for the roof of the eight sports centers, which have not been carried out either.
In the case of the representative Educardo Espinosa Palacios, who could be said to be a newcomer, he has the work of the Public Ministry, that is, a work very similar to that of the Attorney General’s Office, he can investigate all the officials except the mayor, if he finds irregularities against the agent, the process is taken by the attorney general’s office.
It is assumed that the representative had a disagreement with the mayor of Ibagué Johana Aranda Rivera, who did not want to receive him. That infuriated him and he had been doing a forceful job against the work of the local administration. But after he met with the comptroller of Ibagué, as can be seen in the photo at the beginning of this information, the representative never bothered the local government again.
This last fact has generated several conjectures, the first of which is that both the Comptroller and the Representative are from Florencia Caqueta, the second that both reached that position thanks to the campaign carried out by the president of the Council Arturo Castillo, a lobbyist whom The mayor herself acknowledged in an event published by Cambioin.com, the news portal that had helped her in her campaign even though she is conservative and that political party had its own candidate.
That is to say that despite the complaints of corruption and several irregularities detected so far in the administration of Johana Aranda Rivera, they will not have any surveillance by these two control bodies.
