“Corruption facts injure Human Rights, and Human Rights are excluded from any self-forgiveness or pardon”, warned the Comptroller General of the Republic, Manuel Galindo during the presentation of its 2015 management report to the plenary of the National Assembly (AN) in Caracas.
The also President of the Republican Moral Council of Venezuela indicated that acts of corruption “violate human rights because they practically encroach on the right to life” and emphasized that such crimes “do not expire and therefore can not be subject to amnesty” .
“Therefore we have to prosecute corruption (…) the Comptrollership General of the Republic since its birth is relentless in tracking acts of corruption,” he said from the speakers podium of the Parliament.
On the other hand, Galindo warned that the reform of law of the Comptroller General of the Republic, approved on Tuesday by the opposition faction, contains a “disguised amnesty”, which seeks to benefit those accused of crimes of corruption.
He reported that the legal team of the comptrollership has already made a preliminary study and will soon release to the country the interpretation the agency has regarding the articles they seek to reform.
Also during his speech, he noted that since the Comptroller they insist on “breaking the vicious circle of corruption with more education for citizens, teaching them ethical and moral values.”
“In the greed on the property of others is where the vicious circle and culture of corruption starts (…) of the greed of the material things begin the practices that afflict us, leading to break the facts of the collective,” he said.
