President Varela: PAN projects now to be handled by the Secretariat of Goals
President Juan
Carlos Varela announced today that unfinished projects initiated by the defunct
National Assistance Program (PAN) will be administered by the Secretariat of
Goals within the Presidency of the Republic.
"This is to
ensure these projects are completed and the structure is dismantled to restore
the credibility with the population. I personally will work with the
secretariat," said Varela.
He said that
while the PAN has been rife with corruption, he will not abandon those projects
that have been started.
"I will not
leave people without water or buildings half-built," Varela said. "We
have to try and clean it up."
The Head of
the Secretariat
Carlos Duboy said there are over 100 projects that will require an estimated $150 million to
finish.
"They are
to be reviewed together with the Comptroller's Office and the Ministry of
Economy and Finance to go looking for a solution," he said.
