Deputy Minister of Interior Affairs Carmen Muñoz challenged, through her Facebook account, legislators Ottón Solís and Epsy Campbell to take her once and for all to the courts to decide if the employment incentive payment she received at the beginning of the current Administration was a corruption case.
The public challenge implies that legislators must prove to a judge that she requested the payment, that someone before her denounced it, either a means of communication or person, as well as that the payment agreement she made is illegal.
Likewise, she asks legislators to prove that there was no internal investigation and that there were no sanctions, that the head of Human Resources at the Ministry did not make a mistake and that she is not returning the money.
Muñoz has been in the spotlight after vice ministers Ana Gabriel Zúñiga Ana Cristina Trejos received the incentive payment in their salary without meeting the requirements.
Muñoz had also explained in social networks that she did not have the academic records to justify that payment. She clarified that she did not request it and after a year of receiving it through a publication, she had doubts and checked and she found out that that it was a department mistake. As a result, she requested the suspension of payment and make an arrangement to return the money. To date, Muñoz has returned about ₡ 6 million.
