The Supreme Court (SCJ) has submitted a proposal to create a special prosecutor with wide, sweeping powers and status. The proposal includes complete independence and permanence in office, as well as the ability to investigate anyone, including Supreme Court judges and Chamber of Accounts or Central Electoral Board magistrates. According to El Dia newspaper, the fact that the new prosecutor would have jurisdiction over the three most visible government entities is sending a clear message: that there are unseen and unspoken problems inside these three key organizations, which grow each day. These issues also affect other government agencies flow beyond the institutions themselves.
In its editorial today, El Dia comments that the Supreme Court suggestion is just another in a series of commissions, institutions and new positions that are created to fighting corruption in government. "Laws and decrees are drafted, but there is not a clear will to fight corruption. The cancer grows but the solution, to tell from government actions, seems to be to increase the staff entrusted with the fight against corruption," the newspaper points out.
