recently joined a legislative commission to "investigate the concessions," a rather ambiguous goal yet presupposes that there is any irregularity that warrants an "investigation" legislative . Members' concern stems from the complaint of some exporters about the process of granting the new port of Moin, especially those aspects related to the changes suffered by the poster competition and only one company was filed, involving some way through this that the cartel was "adapted" to promote this company.
From October 2007 to May 2010 I joined as part of the responsibilities of the position I held in the previous government, the Board of the National Council Awards. This is a collegiate body composed of 7 persons, who are the Ministers of Public Works and Transportation, who chairs the Finance and Planning, the Central Bank president, and three representatives of professional associations, unions and business chambers. Also attend, with voice but without vote, the Technical Secretary, who has the responsibility to implement the resolutions of the Board. The Board is the governing body of the CNC, and is responsible for addressing all issues related to grants and initiatives deprived in the country. Is a complex, which includes economic, legal and social, but for this complexity were most educational to me, I learned about a lot of issues.
During the period I was part of this group was treated Moin often granted, as befits a great and delicate issue. And because I was there because I was part of this process, because I met people who were involved and because I saw the effort that everyone in the CNC do to get things done well, is that I tell them I have no problem to investigate whatever they want. Go and ask, wallow, ask for papers, interview whoever they want. To answer the questions that have possibly have been enough to convene the current Minister of Public Works and Transport to the plenary for them to explain in detail the process without the need to establish a commission of inquiry, but I understand that some may believe that this is not sufficient, especially if you do not understand the process.
But what you want, and indeed what the country needs is a thorough, comprehensive, deliberate and objective. What you do not like, and the country needs is a politicized commission begins its work with pre-formed criteria. The issue is sensitive enough to aspire to be analyzed objectively, with mind open and there is not a distorted use and / or partial information to confirm preconceived conclusions, following that premise that says that if what I think the reality is not true, then too bad for reality.
For the record I'm not naive: it is clear that for some members the Commission of Inquiry is an opportunity to score some political points, to have media coverage and intensity whose frequency is directly proportional to the stridency of their claims, even when they have no real foundation. But if the research becomes the circus I'm sure some want to make, everyone loses: the people whose reputations are males with charges without foundation, the credibility of legislative committees as a forum for research on issues of importance to the country, public opinion will not be suitable for standard items, officials of the National Council Awards, whose professionalism, honesty and dedication can be unfairly questioned. Hopefully that will not happen.
