Legislator: “Authorities of the CCSS are not being transparent”

Fabricio Alvarado, from the National Restoration Party, said yesterday that we must insist for the Costa Rican Social Security Fund (CCSS) broadly explains the process of restructuring they seeks and for which the Board approved the creation of a General Management.

Some things have been happening inside the Fund. We know they have been, for example, summoning all managers, urging them to say that they already knew about the restructuring process, when that is a lie, because they did not know it. They (the managers) had been invited to some sensitization and motivation meetings on the subject, but without telling them what was the purpose behind them,”

said Alvarado.

According to the legislator, the authorities of the institution are not being completely transparent with the process that is being organized.

Another thing that seems extremely serious is that there are new guidelines to rehire the UCR (University of Costa Rica) to develop again a restructuring document, and now the cost of this contract would not be ¢250 million, but $1 million,”

said Alvarado.

The legislator believes the administrative decisions in the institution are of great concern, “and it seems that the PAC (Citizen Action Party) now wants to bury it (the CCSS)… One of the things that worry us is the reasons the government might have to do this with recommendations issued in 2012,” concluded Alvarado.
