19.9.1. Take illegal possession of unfinished homes
The more than one hundred families from the 1. Past January 2010 took possession of the unfinished houses contracted by the Ministry of Urban Development and Housing (Housing Ministry) said to Diario Hoy (6 January 2010) that will not leave the place.
The newspaper notes that this action was taken after waiting a year to deliver the Housing Ministry offers 308 houses that were built in the citadel of Chone Unidos Venceremos (Manabi) to those affected by the winter of 2008. Milton
Zambrano President of the citadel, the beneficiaries indicated that they took this decision because they have nowhere to live and also because the Housing Ministry and the Municipality of Chone have delayed the delivery of the project several times.
Given this decision, the provincial director of the Housing Ministry, Alfredo Lopez, promised that the works are culminating in a period of sixty days. As requested a meeting with the contractors work to accelerate the work unfinished. However, several beneficiaries
presented their doubts, stating that "the Housing Ministry in Manabi contractors do what they want and that is demonstrated in thousands of homes at the provincial level is not yet complete on schedule."
For his part, National Director of the Housing Ministry Settlements, Italo Córdoba, he ordered that to the fact raised and to prevent further problems take the necessary corrective measures to complete the work on time.
addition, as Zambrano these people are reluctant to leave the house because they know that this plan would aim to give housing to other families.
19.9.2. Victims of the "roboilusión"
In the scandal of the houses built MIDUVI, Jorge Bello (El Diario, March 5, 2010) stressed that their roofs "paper" (very thin zinc), their weak structures, lack of doors and finally abandoned, still marks the lives of many people, including young professionals desperate to have an income, lent their names to contractors linked to the shift boss and are in serious legal trouble, the accounts do not add up and there are many abandoned works that they can not be terminated because the money was already divided and calculations failed.
There Bello notes, there is a drama of low-spoken voice and no one dares to play publicly. Here are many important people linked and are afraid. Some days ago I heard on local radio, the president of the College of Civil Engineers Manabi admitting he knows the issue and various professionals into trouble. Expiration of the fear, to speak loud and clear. Before
said Bello, the deputies of the last 'party had their contractors, builders and prestanombres. But what changed with now? Nothing. Lies, obsequiousness, corruption, compromise and arrogance, then and now, we feel disgust. Abuses multiply each space, are becoming more obvious and compelling, the discourse is a liar and the alienating and abusive propaganda. Bello
narrows, it should be clear that this sector continues to corrupt people to be arming the immune apparatus and the same style as before: captured Attorney, Comptroller, constitutional institutions and will soon complete control the circle of justice all across the so-called fifth power.
On the other hand, when the accompanying political activist Carlos Vera by several cantons of Manabi. Bello was able to witness the despair of many Manabi (The Journal March 12, 2010). Gradually
has delved into the minds and consciences of many people, Bello notes, what started telling us of the nightmare "roboilusionaria" that emanates from the regime in power. Corruption abounds as before or more. Among the things that hit is the story of a professional would have asked you three percent just to talk of "binding" contract. If the work performed in another should make substantial contribution mandatory. There is a public work where the true owner of the work is one, another who signed the contract
and another, very different, which is leading the construction works.
In an institution concerned, the Housing Ministry, by the poor quality of his work, which is still on tenterhooks to their hypothetical beneficiaries and sparkling nerves to those who signed these contracts were auctioned contracts like this: a person x, we collected the 9 percent for giving the work, he agreed but gave it to another by 11 percent, and so from hand to hand and exclusive supply of materials reaches 25 per cent increase in costs.
face of corruption in public procurement has been aggravated in this regime "roboilusionario" concludes Bello, we have as an option, reporting, organization, strength and value of dignity to deal with this "robolution of pole faces. "
19.9.3. Bribery, breaches and scams
political activist Carlos Vera in its web channel www.youtube.com, "The Manabi I saw" of August 10, 2010, shares her experiences of her last visit to the province, which happens to reveal the despair that are in the region, by the corrupt management that occurs not only in housing by the state Housing Ministry, but on the construction of roads.
In the first case, one of the last directors in Portoviejo, resulted in favor of the scheme to represent in the election for Assemblyman and reached their goal. But in the course of their bureaucratic functions, has to do with the collection of bribes, which generally treated have reached up to 25% by contract.
Making history eight months ago (December 2008) living in Santa Elena Manta and reported to the Ministry of Urban Development and Housing (Housing Ministry) poor quality of houses that were built with the plan "Partner Property"; But complaints have continued, for several works were abandoned and others lack basic services (Diario Hoy, 25 July 2009).
According to the newspaper, Rodrigo Pumagualli, Assistant Secretary of Housing Ministry, the country is in Manabi where there are more controversial. There are 47 contractors who have breached their contractual commitments.
Given the avalanche of complaints (Diario Hoy July 21, 2009), arrived in Portoviejo Victor Barahona, Deputy Secretary of Housing. Then, in the Provincial Directorate of Housing Ministry was put together a list of unreliable contractors. So far as the spokesman for the state portfolio, Isabel Intriago, 47 contractors were detected with problems, which partly had justified 6. Of the rest, nothing is known.
The most common problems are poor quality utilizaronn materials in the construction and abandonment of works.
The provincial director of the Housing Ministry, Alfredo Lopez, announced that the failures would not be able to contract with the Housing Ministry at least five years, they would also enforce the payment of financial guarantees and rescind contracts. And the bribes
can exceed one million dollars, if one takes into account that in the province were 41 cases of failed contracts, at 30 dwellings per contract and $ 5,000 per bond, giving a capital capable of handling about USD $ 6,150,000.
19.9.4. Right of recourse
As in other provinces have reported cases of noncompliance, especially in the case of Santa Elena, Morona Santiago, ... where it was found that the directors of the Housing Ministry, have been deliberately expire and are not guarantees could effectuate.
words off the payoffs delivered by contractors to the directors of the Housing Ministry, which resulted in the main, the abandonment of works and breaches of contract, the Government shelved effectuate the payment of guarantees, on a clear collusion. Having regard to the scam
, results involving the Comptroller he has not done so far, to establish responsibilities and sanctions and the prosecution to intervene and prosecute those responsible. This, as the State, their delegates, assigns and any person acting in the exercise of public authority (Article 11, paragraph 11 of the Constitution), are required to remedy violations of the rights of individuals by the lack or deficiency in providing public services, or for acts or omissions of its officials in the performance of their duties. Included in this area, now serves to Assemblyman Manabi.
But now, as we are in times of "citizens' revolution", in which The scheme does not pursue or punish corruption, damaging episodes in the housing sector in the province are likely to go unpunished.
