AP bloc analyzes content for next “amendments” project

Among the remaining talks in the bloc of Alianza PAIS (AP) for a second draft “amendments,” there is a constitutional change to allow the Assembly to make political control on Secretaries of State that own status of ministers or presidents of directorate companies like the Ecuadorian Institute of Social Security (IESS for its Spanish acronym).

In this group of authorities that the Assembly would be able to submit, are also the Constitutional Court (CC), institutions that manage public resources such as the National Development Bank (BNF for its Spanish acronym) or National Finance Corporation (CFN for its Spanish acronym) and the coordinating ministries.

On these possible constitutional changes, Assemblyman Andres Paez (CREO) said that with or without a Constitution, with or without amendments, the control in the Assembly “has been systematically neutralized by this government.” “The fact that there is a change in legislation will not make these people who has consistently opposed the audit, of quitting doing so, because they are not interested in corruption cases to be known,” he added.

Last week the AP bloc of the National Assembly, went to the CC headquarters to deliver the first draft amendments.
