Casa Presidencial found itself among four government agencies under investigation by the Assistant Prosecutor for Probity, Transparency and Anti-Corruption following President Luis Guillermo SolÃs’ denunciations in his 100-day report on the state of the government in late August.
In a tour de force Thursday night, President Luis Guillermo SolÃs delivered a frank and biting assessment of the disarray he encountered when taking office last May, and his 100-day efforts at changing an entrenched political culture of corruption.
On Monday evening, hours after the president requested an hour Thursday afternoon to present his assessment of the government as he found it after President Laura Chinchilla (2010-2014) left office in May, the heads of the fractious political parties refused to give him the floor. SolÃs blamed the National Liberation Party (PLN) for the delay in the report, which would be a first of its kind in Costa Rica.
