Education Minister Denounces Irregularities
(Panama-Guide) TVN Noticias - Panama's Minister of Education, Lucy Molinar, filed a complaint before the Public Ministry over a series of irregularities in contract awards to more than 12 companies who were supposed to do construction work and infrastructure improvements at schools, but who actually did work on other types of buildings. Molinar said they found letters indicating there were promises to pay these companies but without those payments having been approved by the Comptroller of the Republic. The Minister called for an investigation into what appears to be acts of corruption on the part of the previous administration.
