Lawyers demand investigation into leaks in the judiciary. The Regional Directorate of the Water Department of the Ministry of Health in the province of West Panama reported last April the drilling of eight wells in the district of La Chorrera. Each well costs $100,000. Aquiles Acevedo, municipal director of Decentralization of the La Chorrera Municipality, explained that, occasionally, residents receive water through a pumping station from the National Aqueducts and Sewers Institute (Idaan). This project covers the stages of drilling, construction of a pump house, turbine installation, a storage tank with its tower, and a 500-meter pipeline. In addition to supplying water to the communities of Colinas de El Coco, in the El Coco district, and Pin Ávila, in Santa Rita. Acevedo added that in the coming months, work must begin on drilling in the communities of Río Congito and El Peligro, in the El Arado district. 400 families will leave behind water tankers. Some 400 families from two communities in the La Chorrera district will abandon their dependence on water supply via tankers, once two underground wells currently being drilled become operational. The funding for the construction and commissioning of both wells comes from the National Decentralization Authority (AND). Wells become operational. IMA beats the clock: over 5,000 served before 8:00 a.m. Comptroller questions the Court and throws darts at Vamos deputies. Who is influencing the rulings?
