Interviewed on Rahintel, the official said the alleged leases have to be stricken, because they contradicts the presidential Decree declares 2011 ‘Year of transparency’. “We’re only wait for the President to explain to him that it cannot proceed, that those contracts must be voided because that questions his decree declaring this year as the Year of Transparency, as the year of strengthening of institutionalism.”

The official said would be to throw overboard everything what the Government has been doing with the multilateral entities in the initiative to fight corruption, so we understand the need to halt it and cancel them (the leases).
