MTOP EXECUTED OVER USD 300 MILLION IN 2020
The Ministry of Transport and Public Works (MTOP) executed more than 86% of the budget it had assigned for the year 2020
This was stated by Minister José Luis Falero, who attended the Budget Committee integrated with the Treasury of the House of Representatives. The hierarch -accompanied by Undersecretary Juan José Olaizola and the rest of his team- was satisfied with the progress in the execution of works despite the health emergency. “The difficulty of the pandemic itself and the transition were concealed. There was a strong execution, for which we must thank the entire MTOP team and the companies that have been contracted to carry out the works, ”he said.
Likewise, the chief reiterated his commitment to increase the execution of works in the remainder of the five-year period to improve the state of the country's infrastructure. The MTOP seeks to tender a greater number of road works in order to reduce costs. "When there are tenders there is more competition between the companies and that generates savings for the administration that can be used in other works," he said.
