As lack of transparency that favors corruption qualified spokesmen sectors of society the buy of 20,000 boxes of bottled water, that made the government of Juan Carlos Varela, allocate Carnival days.
In that sense, Jakarta Rios, president of Ethical Consumption, noted that "failure to disclose on whom you are buying the water is favoring corruption, because it is not known under what is favoring one company."
Rios's approach comes after President Juan Carlos Varela announced purchase water directly given by the figure of 'national security'.
For Rivers, the purchase of these 20,000 cases of water is inappropriate because it is not known if it goes directly addressing the need of the population. "What I understand is that water is for people who will participate in the Carnaval" he said.
"This government promised the highest standards of transparency, and has failed. Favouring one company indicates that direct contracting have become the rule rather than the exception," he said.
He said the direct purchase responds mostly at negotiated than a genuine interest to benefit a population that requires more than a water bottle.
According to Rios, it has not measured the impact it will have on the accumulation of waste and where they will go to stop all those plastic bottles. "They've done wrong and inconsistent only to benefit a company and hiring a traditional festival," he said.
He added that this festival is intended to hide the real problem confronting the Azuero region. "The water crisis in the Azuero region is much larger than holding a carnival or any other party," he stressed.
He added that the water crisis should not refer only to the celebration of Carnival, but little action by the authorities to plan mitigation measures by the shortage of the vital liquid.
Rios believes that the Ministry of Environment is not doing their job, because they continue facilitating the destruction of water sources and areas that should be preserved.
Meanwhile, the doctor Mauro Zúñiga said President Juan Carlos Varela is giving priority to the celebration of Carnival, not to the needs of people living in the Azuero region.
"There was little transparency because if the water is purchased for the state, he has to make a public tender to see which company offered the best price," he said.
Considered to be due and to replace the habit of enjoying this traditional festival throwing thousands of gallons of water on the floor. It must stop. "In Brazil, the country where he made the best carnivals in the world, people enjoy and enjoy without watering any liter of water," he stressed.
As for the collection of water before it empties into the sea, as it has announced Environment Minister Mirei Endara, Zuniga said it was a farce, because as the liquid vital there will be more demand to go down the river is collected .
