The mayor of San Miguelito, Irma Hernández, stated that she was not informed of the government's decision to continue offering garbage collection services in the district. 'Last night, just like you, I found out about it from a video on social media and from the resolution published in Gaceta,' she said. The mayor also assured that only the endorsement of the contracts is pending. Hernández also revealed that she received a call from the Comptroller General Anel 'Bolo' Flores on December 4th, requesting a meeting with the owner of Revisalud, which raised questions about the process and ethics behind the hiring. 'I will not allow a basic service for our people to be used to benefit companies.' She criticized the AAUD, pointing out that it is still unclear how they will charge the cleaning fee, what routes they will use, or what equipment they will rent, while her team took over a year to plan everything. 'If this is not resolved, the responsibility will be with the AAUD. We are reviewing the case with our legal team,' she concluded. Additionally, Hernández highlighted that the contracted companies have already made investments: renting equipment, purchasing uniforms, and land for the trucks. She asked the President of the Republic to repeal the resolution and endorse the approved contracts. The mayor reminded that the Constitution states that waste collection must be under municipal management. 'The only beneficiaries should be the neighbors of San Miguelito,' she emphasized.
