Journalist Juan Bolivar Diaz writes in Hoy newspaper that a major effort should be made to lessen the discretionary powers of the government so that never again could it use billions of pesos to purchase buses, vehicles, trucks and fork lifts to be distributed however it saw fit, among other ignominious acts, such as occurred with the Plan Renove. The writer examines further negative effects of such discretion in government and asks what difference is there between Plan Renove and the allocation of government-built luxury apartments to those with ties to influential figures in the government, without the holding of legal tenders. Diaz also disparages the government’s discretionary power to maintain “botellas,” the unneeded public jobs that are given to those with ties to the authorities and squander government resources.
