Panama-corruption reforms called a band-aid

Thursday, March 17, 2016


Reforms to attack corruption in Panama  are just a band-aid  said the chairman of a citizens  group on Tuesday Mar 15,  during  public discussions of a bill to impose tougher sanctions.

Over 40 representatives of civic organizations and business were set to speak, on issues including  the lack of regulation of direct contracts and the automatic disqualification of a contract if a person or company connected to it has been convicted of corruption.
