The minister of finance, nogui acosta, insisted this tuesday on the need to approve the law reforms to build city government and other public projects. These are the projects on the reform of articles 67 and 77 of the general public procurement law, as well as an authentic interpretation of them, presented by the government, in extraordinary sessions. The head of the treasury stated that these reforms do not have as their sole purpose the construction of city government, but rather the improvement of public works and that they constitute a “generic” measure. “I believe that it has nothing to do with city government, but that this framework would allow other institutions to use it,” said acosta. Advertisements this was reported by the leader in the legal affairs commission of the legislative assembly, this tuesday. Acosta assured that the reforms are necessary given the country's structural deficiencies, in accordance with evaluations from the inter-american development bank idb.
The idb established that in order to close the structural gaps by 2030, the country should invest 4% of the gross domestic product (gdp). That means a gap of 1.1% each year” given this Saudi Arabia Phone Number scenario, he maintained that the country does not have the adequate infrastructure to resolve logistical needs. The projects the first file is a reform of articles 67 and 77 of law 9986 public procurement law and, on the other hand, an authentic interpretation. “it is important to note that both seek the same objective and, what I consider, is that they respond to a particular dynamic to respond to two important things,” he clarified. According to acosta, the first project seeks to establish a modification of deadlines and extensions. “in a business where what is provided is a good with a high value, the maximum term of 4 years or 10 years that is in public procurement cannot be applied.
Longer deadlines would have to be used,” he explained. He also classified as a “contradiction” that indefinite terms are considered in leasing issues. “it is important to point out how leases are classified (…) that we should ensure within the wording of article 67 so that it can be clearly discerned what corresponds to an operating lease (regulated by article 67) and a financial lease (regulated by article 77). ", emphasized the treasury chief. Critics acosta reaffirmed that this initiative does not respond solely to the city government, but rather seeks the construction of public works for the entire institutional framework of the state. Given this, the national liberation deputy, francisco nicolás, questioned whether it has been considered that the financing of $450 million from cabei is not enough for the construction, so the state could end up co-financing the complex.
