The Delegate Attorney for Territorial Management and Governance is requesting information that, it alleges, was not shared on time. This is the evaluation made by that entity on Hidroituango, in which it was indicated that the rocky massif of Hidroituango was unstable.
The Attorney General says that the Ungrdwhich was the entity in charge of this exercise, did not provide him with information on the subject, despite having requested it.
For this reason, in a letter filed on December 16, he asks the director of the Ungrd, Javier Pavas, that his entity has 24 hours to deliver the requested information.
“In the same press conference, he indicated that he had information regarding instability problems in the rock mass and that he had requested the SGC to carry out an inspection and submit a report, which he indicated had already been received. Lastly, in his speech he also specified that he had received a report from Dr. Modesto Portilla regarding the stability of the rocky massif,” says the official letter from the Attorney General’s Office.
The control entity alleges that the information regarding the project should have been delivered not only to the Attorney General’s Office, but also that it should have been made public to the communities downstream, since they were evacuated on December 14 due to the ignition of the central.
For the Attorney General’s Office, omitting this information goes once morest disaster prevention, which is ultimately the raison d’être of the Ungrd. “For this reason, given that the omission to disclose this information affects the Disaster Risk Management of the Hidroituango Project, that it is public information and that, therefore, it must be disseminated as soon as possible to all the actors of the National Disaster Risk Management System”, says the official letter.
This is an episode more related to the controversies of Hidroituango, the plant that finally saw the light but, as it seems, will continue to give people something to talk regarding.
