17:56 | Anguia (Cajamarca region), Sep. 12.
The
President of the Republic Pedro Castillo on Sunday affirmed that his Government is working so that the country can achieve a real decentralization by providing recourses that regions need, and urged authorities to work together in order to fulfill this national goal.
In a meeting with people from Anguia district in Chota Province, the Head of State underscored that fighting the scourge of corruption is essential, as works and projects need to be executed for the benefit of the entire population in the national territory.
"We will distribute the budget to regions, and we hope that population is organized. We are undertaking the real decentralization process in the country," he stated.
"The population must pay attention to the budget funds that we will allocate to regional governments, as well as to provincial and district mayors," the top official remarked.
He said the country will be able to move forward if people work with authorities and lend a shoulder, since the Government seeks to promote development to improve living conditions of all citizens.
Addressing the population, President Castillo indicated that health and life have to be prioritized, hence the need to secure the supply of COVID-19 vaccines for the entire population and to unlock projects that need it so.
"The budgets must reach the most remote communities, but transparently," the President said, noting that every act of corruption must be punished.
The Peruvian leader affirmed that just as acts of corruption are rejected, terrorist acts —which spread terror in the country for a long time— are condemned and repudiated.
