July 24th, 2018

The internal comptroller from the legislative power, Victorino Barrios Dávalos, recognize that exist at least, 30 cases of mayors, whereby the implementation of their respective municipal systems of anticorruption has bogged down, and no for lack of material or human resources, but the authorities simply don’t want to do it, because of “their business” in the communes.

Among this thirty of mayors, it is found the same authorities from rural municipalities or semi-urban, and from the big metropolitan municipalities, even from the Valle de Mexico, although it can also in the Valle de Toluca have to delay, in this case, the argument is the lack of competent personnel which is available.

However, Barrios Dávalos admitted that exists other cases, over 30, of authorities who don´t want establishing the state system of anticorruption for the simple fact that they have some business inside of their own municipalities and they are afraid of being discovered.

“Many, because they don’t want to stay under investigation, they don’t want a citizen… in other words, we are part of the public administration, but I don’t want that an external citizen that is very incisive come to telling the citizens, that I am doing bad this” the internal comptroller appointed to exemplify the common argument among the mayors, which are looking to evade the implementation of their municipal system.

He indicated that these mayors don’t want to take risks, because they could be exposed some of their business.

“At least, like 33, that want to stay in the darkness, some of them even, I think that for risk, because they don’t want that people know who, where and why they buy.” He added.

He said because of that some of them don’t give an answer to the implementation of their anti-corruption municipal systems, so until the date only 71 are that have the system totally installed, though not all still operating.

Before a masterful conference imparted by the internal comptroller from the council of Calimaya, Eunice Torres Guerrero about “ The challenge of building the Anticorruption Municipal System”, the comptroller from the legislative power, recognize that still missing rearrange some settings to the legal framework stay in line and become more operative; for example there are due changes to the Municipal Organic Law and to the Law of the Responsibilities of Public Servants, whereby considered, it must be a “priority” to the next legislature which starts to work the next 5 of September.

In another hand, Eunice, give a wide explanation of how it constructs and operates the Anticorruption Municipal System, as well as some of the deficiencies that present, especially about the procedure.

In this sense, she coincided that required some adjustments in different regulations, to make it more operable, but also the assignment of resources to the municipalities, in this way count with the enough personnel that requires its conformation, because now, for example, not only the authorities can impugn a procedure, also the private individuals that seen implied in some investigation , whereby, she said “ we prevent the corruption from the inside out, but also from the outside to the inside”.

In this aspect, she said, is a “watershed”, besides that she insisted in which gives of budget sufficiency to the municipalities so that can incorporate the personnel that requires and gives it instruments, because now, not only required a comptroller and a lawyer, as before. It needs, at least two lawyers, an architect and an accountant, apart from the comptroller, she said.
