18:44 | San Jose de Lourdes (Cajamarca region), May. 10.

The important thing is not to start construction works but to guarantee their completion, with the purpose of putting them at the service of the population, President Martin Vizcarra affirmed Thursday.

While visiting the Inca country's regions, the President has noticed that several works remained unfinished. 

Within this framework, the Head of State criticized the fact that the Government has spent millions on unfinished projects —which have gone lost— and are not at the service of the population.

"Let us strive to complete already-started works," he expressed in this sense.

Statements were made as President Vizcarra supervised the construction of a bridge over Chinchipe River.

In addition, the Statesman pointed out he will join efforts with provincial and district mayors until their last day in office.

Likewise, Peru's top official pledged to continue working hand-in-hand with the ones to be elected this October. In this sense, he urged citizens to make an effort to elect hardworking, committed, and honest authorities.

Vizcarra —who took office last March— added his administration intends to remain close to the population.

As is known, the Head of State and his ministers constantly travel to regions with the aim of identifying people's needs.

"We want an administration focused on the regions, an administration that empowers regions because Peru's progress is possible thanks to its regions' wealth," he affirmed.

It must be noted the Peruvian leader paid a visit to North-Andean Cajamarca region on Thursday to preside over a Muni-Executive Power meeting.
