Corruption Czar Wants Breaks Set on Car Privileges Enjoyed by Parlacen Deputies
Story La Prensa Englis Edition
The secretary of Transparency and Corruption, Fernando Núñez Fábrega, has asked for the immediate suspension of the vehicle import tax exemption enjoyed by Panamanian deputies of the Parlacen.
Fábrega said that this request applies to the current members as well as those who may take office in the future.
The corruption czar also ordered that an audit be undertaken to quantify the amount of exemptions members of Parlacen used. While these members are limited to importing one vehicle every two years, many did so more often than that.
His remarks came at a news conference Monday at the offices of the Secretariat of Transparency, located in Ancón.
