Monterey, NL. Governor of Nuevo Leon Samuel Garcia, spoke out against the previous administration, because when the transition was made, the previous director of Water and Drainage Services, Gerardo Garza, warned that there would only be a water supply until December, and not a peso was invested in system maintenance, no leaks repaired; allegedly diverted 18,000 million pesos.
“Water and Drainage captures income of 10,000 million pesos annually, of this figure there are profits of 1,000 million pesos. A former official (from the dependency) arrived, Juan Carlos Pulido, accompanied by a lawyer, wants to be a protected witness, gave information that 18,000 million pesos were diverted through billing and real estate companies.
“Why this irresponsibility of the previous government in an issue as delicate as water? Right now (Jaime Rodríguez) spends her time making little letters in her cell, let her write one for us, explaining why she left us without water. Now he plays the victim.”
The previous administration removed the La Boca Dam Y tight hill, three times what was possible, granted many irregular lands and ate the green areas, from the foothills of the hills. In García (land of the Bronco) there is no feasibility for more than 20,000 houses and yet it has grown to 100,000 houses, attacked Samuel García.
He pointed out that they delivered a rotten water supply network, where 1,000 liters per second have been dumped, and that Gerardo Garza, Juan Pulido and the former secretary general of the government, did their great business, “they gave permission for buildings when in the subsoil there is no Water and Drainage network”, he denounced.
He estimated that there are 60 multi-family buildings that did not have a water and drainage network, which is why 20 investigation folders have been opened, which have been presented to the Office of the Special Prosecutor for Organized Crime Investigation (Seido), as well as to the regional delegation of the General Prosecutor of the Republic (FGR).
“The treasury is over, leaving a public debt of the agency that amounts to 4,000 million pesos, while the Libertad Dam only had an advance of 20% in four years. In addition, there is an overdue portfolio of 6,000 million pesos for debts of municipalities, state government and individuals,” he said.
“That’s where the crisis lies. It is corruption, ineptitude, they are crooks, criminals, that is why today we are paying and we are going to show our faces, we are going to recover the water that is needed,” said the president, visibly upset.
