With  just a week to go before campaigning ends Panama’s  Comptroller Federico Humbert, gave a fillip to no-to re-election proponents reminding   that the institution has presented 20 complaints in the Supreme Court 

Humbert said on Thursday, April 25  that first a group of 14 complaints was filed and that on Wednesday, April 24, six complaints were filed against officials of the National Assembly before the Public Prosecutor's Office.

According to Humbert, the audit reports are based on the irregular handling of the funds.

"I have always said that the strength of a state rests on the integrity of its officials, unfortunately, there are many people in the Assembly who have not helped in the strength of the nation," Humbert said.

Additionally On the other hand, the comptroller said that members of the public who want to know which deputies handled donations can go to http://www.contraloria.gob.pa/CGR.CONSULTAPAGOS/index.aspx.

After completing theis audit process, the Office of the Comptroller General forwarded to the web page the payroll and donation contracts that emanate from the report, for from all the deputies of the National Assembly from 2014.
