Member of Parliament Xiomara Maduro has expressed her deep concern regarding the current government’s management in relation to the establishment of an “Investment Fund.” According to Maduro, the structure of this fund appears to lack transparency and is being used as a purely political instrument.
According to Maduro, the way the government is directing the process raises many questions, especially because it seems to bypass the necessary oversight required to manage public funds.
Problems with transparency and control During her intervention, the MP emphasized the importance of proper evaluation and transparency in all processes involving public money. Maduro pointed out:
• Lack of transparency: The proposed fund lacks the necessary controls to ensure that public money is used responsibly.
• Political instrument: Maduro argued that the fund is not necessarily something needed for investment, but rather that the government is using it as a “political tool” for those leading the process.
• Does not serve the people: The MP stated that the way the president and the government are acting does not contribute to the well-being of the people of Aruba.
Concern for the future MP Xiomara Maduro emphasized that although investments are necessary, the lack of concrete projects and the disorder in the management of funds pose a danger. She is of the opinion that the government is looking for ways to redirect the use of the funds for other things, instead of focusing on the real priorities that Aruba needs.
According to MP Maduro, “I do not agree with the way this is being handled, and what is more, there are not enough clear, concrete projects,” she concluded, reiterating that she will remain vigilant to ensure that the people’s money is not spent on election campaigns or for politically motivated reasons.
