accusation

During an interview at SIN Group, the current budget director, Jose Rego Prespot, accused the former Vice President of the Republic, Margarita Cedeno, of having “irregular payroll” within the social programmes.

Cedeño immediately responded to the accusation, saying that there had been no wrongdoing in this act and that he had always acted “with the greatest transparency, adhering to the legality and ethics that characterize me; and relying on the support and approval of international organizations”.

He emphasized that no one has double jobs or fees, and added that the current authorities have changed one form of payment for another.

“I am very sorry that Professor Rigo Prespot is incorrect in his statements. The United Nations Development Program had already responded to him on this issue, but the line of this government is to attack the good in order to rule with the bad. Not with me!”, stressed the former vice president.
