The
President of the Republic Pedro Castillo has announced the termination of the appointment of Jorge Lopez as Peru's Minister of Health.
The announcement was made on his official Twitter account on Sunday night, after a report in an investigative journalism TV program claimed that various workers in his sector had made numerous bank deposits to an account for the purchase of a property.
"I have decided to terminate his appointment, given the facts spread by the media, which would involve the current Minister of Health, and in order to demonstrate complete transparency in the Government," the Head of State remarked.
In addition, the top dignitary reiterated his commitment to continue working for the country.
