Colombia's General Prosecutor's Office has initiated a preliminary inquiry targeting yet-to-be-identified officials from the Aguachica Mayor's Office in Cesar department for alleged overcosts in the municipal Christmas lighting contract, valued at just over 2.4 billion pesos.
Public information indicates an imbalance not only in financial aspects but also in the distribution of lights, as certain city sectors were left uncovered. The Public Ministry aims to clarify the circumstances, timing, and location of the events while identifying potential responsible parties to assess whether a full disciplinary investigation is warranted.
This step occurs amid oversight of local public contracts to ensure transparency in municipal resource use during holiday seasons.
