Rosselli Amuruz and Edgar Tello consider it superfluous to propose an investigation of the parliamentary buffet

congressmen Rosselli Amuruz and Edgar Tello This Monday, they defended parliament from criticism for the expensive buffet they consume during plenary sessions. In this sense, they assured that what was disclosed in the program report fourth force it’s not accurate.

“This (from the buffet) is not daily. When the plenary is in Congress, it’s when these dinners are offered by Parliament. And when there is no plenary session, each deputy is deducted from their salary. It’s not daily and it’s not true, it’s breakfast, lunch and dinner, it depends on the hours,” Amuruz said in the program. no turns from RPP news.

Your colleague Edgar Tello He also took a similar position and believed that there were other more important issues that should be considered than the discussion parliamentary dinners.

“This case is becoming media, having more important tasks to solve (…) This meets the criteria of the board of directors, it adopted on the basis of requirements. (About the buffet) this is once a week,” the parliamentarian explained. .

Amuruz ruled out any requests for an investigation or change to remove buffets, noting that this should be decided by the Congressional Board of Directors.

“Why are we going to request an investigation as if this situation was a crime? This happened many years ago and if changes need to be made, the costs vary depending on the situation in the country. It will depend on the internal administrative problem and we should focus on what is really important. I think that the media, with such things, do not strengthen the Congress, which was finally a wall so that communism does not exist in our country. Why then they didn’t this happen in other administrations?” he pointed out.

Jose Williams justifies buffets

Congressional President Jose Williams confirmed that the controversial buffets revealed in the Sunday program were already in place before the pandemic and that, with the addition of December 12 last year, they have only been relaunched. In addition, he argued that they only occur when there is a plenary session.

“Before the pandemic, there was already a buffet in Congress, it was stopped due to the pandemic. Congressmen receive this buffet only when it takes place at the plenary session,” he said.

He also emphasized that this advantage is due to the fact that congressmen sit “from 9 or 10 in the morning.” and they stay “until 22:00, 23:00”.

“They pay every other day for the consumed ration, which is 25 soles. We are back to give the buffet as it used to be, and only when there is a plenary session,” he said.
