"Callan" ISEM officials before evidence of irregularities in 2017 and 2018
November 13th, 2019
Officials of the Institute of Health of the State of Mexico (ISEM), "were ignored" in answering questions from legislators about irregularities detected in public spending in 2018 and 2017, how duplicate purchases already overpriced, the reserve of results of alleged audits, the no payment of property insurance damaged by the earthquakes and on the realization of responsibilities against officials for deviations of 2017.
Before all these accusations they were silent, there were no answers, said legislator Azucena Cisneros Coss, after participating in a special meeting with officials of the Ministry of Health -and of ISEM-, as part of the work related to the revision of the Public Account of 2018.
After the meeting, the deputy of Morena revealed that health officials "were omitted to respond," almost "almost all the questions raised, he said. They shut up to that point and admit that "they do not have control mechanisms" to avoid irregularities such as duplication of purchases or acquisitions with premiums of up to 60%, as revealed by internal audit documents.
Given this scenario, the deputy indicated that they proposed the designation by the 60 Legislature, of an internal comptroller that allows transparent spending and avoid embezzlement as documented in 2017 in the Popular Insurance. Other questions have to do with the hiring of more than 155 million pesos in luxury cars with Popular Insurance resources in 2018, while there is no sufficiency of medications or personnel.
