Lawyers question lack of transparency in the Assembly

The attorney Gabriel Tribaldos launched harsh criticism towards the National Assembly. In the opinion of the jurist, the deputies have shown that they are not up to the task of debating important anti-corruption bills, such as reforms to the internal regulations and the extinction of domain, the latter seeking to combat the power of criminal organizations.

“Unfortunately we are facing a body that is getting worse and worse, which represents the worst of the Panamanian and the country, including what is getting stronger every day, narco-politics, drug-trafficking actors such as deputies and great corruption, clientelism and payroll “, said the lawyer Gabriel Tribaldos. “Unfortunately we are facing a body that is getting worse and worse, which represents the worst of the Panamanian and the country, including what is getting stronger every day, narco-politics, drug-trafficking actors such as deputies and great corruption, clientelism and payroll “, said the lawyer Gabriel Tribaldos.

A negative point that they perceive from the Legislative Branch is the silence of the deputies of the opposition parties in the sensitive debates.

The lawyer Ernesto Cedeño hopes that with the arrival of the new legislature, the deputies will summon more ministers and directors of entities. “They can demand accountability. It is unacceptable that there is a rampant bureaucracy and we have to give money in salaries to bureaucratic officials; it is a good step that the assembly can take,” suggested lawyer Ernesto Cedeño.
