Peruvians must combat corruption firmly as it halts the country's development, President Martin Vizcarra pointed out Tuesday.
In this sense, the Head of State reaffirmed his commitment to supporting all investigations aimed at
punishing this scourge.
Vizcarra also explained the Peruvian Government respects the autonomy of the Judicial Branch, Public Ministry, and Comptroller General's Office. Yet, it will take necessary actions to avoid impunity, as well as to identify those responsible for corruption offenses.
According to the Peruvian leader, authorities must be honest people, who always work in favor of the population.
Moreover, he noted his proposals for political reform —such as the return to a
bicameral legislature and the restoration of the Senate— are medium and long-term measures.
He was joined by Transport Minister Edmer Trujillo and Authority for Reconstruction with Changes Chief Edgar Quispe on the occasion.
