Liquidation Commission sends findings on payments and contracts to the TSC

The Liquidation Technical Commission This Thursday, it presented its first public report on the processes of suppression, liquidation and assignment of various State ministries and institutions, in which it revealed a series of findings that will be sent to the control bodies for investigation.

The report, presented in the Morazán Room of the Presidential House, was presented by the coordinator of the commission, Ángel Antonio Mendoza, along with the other commissioners, in compliance with the PCM decree 04-2026.

During the appearance, the members of the commission detailed financial progress, measures to redistribute state assets and possible irregularities related to payments, communication contracts, use of public resources and loss of institutional information.

Among the most relevant findings, the commission identified indications of use of public funds for political-partisan purposes, including expenditures on food, promotional material and dissemination services.

The permanence on the personnel payroll without evidence of having provided effective services was also reported, so the files will be transferred to the corresponding authorities to determine possible administrative, civil or criminal responsibilities.

Another point that set off alarms was the disappearance of memories and hard drives from institutional equipment. The commissioners warned that this is not only the physical loss of devices, but also public information whose fate is unknown.

The commission announced that it will promote the corresponding formal complaints, because the loss or theft of this material could compromise official documentation of the intervened institutions.

The report also points out documentary records of high costs for transmission and dissemination services, with invoices that show values ​​​​approximately equivalent to 70,000 lempiras per minute of transmission.

According to the Liquidation Commission, these files will be sent to a technical and financial audit to establish whether the contracted amounts are reasonable and whether or not there was an impact on the State’s assets.

The review will cover contracts, payments, receipts and documentation related to communication, dissemination and institutional promotion services.

In the financial balance, the commission reported that labor benefits have been paid in the amount of 126,486,843 lempiras.

Of that amount, approximately five million 463 thousand 715 lempiras and 85 cents are still outstanding.

Likewise, the Liquidation Commission reported an estimated savings from canceling leases of 2,927,377 lempiras per month, which is equivalent to 35,127,802 lempiras per year.

The commissioners affirmed that these measures are part of the process of reducing public spending and reorganizing state resources.

The report also includes institutions linked to the cultural and social area. The General Directorate of Cinematography appears with more than 60 million lempiras annually allocated to cultural projects, whose proportion between investment and public benefit will be subject to audit.

For his part, the Memory Instituteaccording to the commission, presented little evidence of operational functioning at the time of the intervention.

Another notable case corresponds to the construction of the Western Neonatal Hospital. According to documents from the Superior Court of Accounts cited by the commission, the work is only 27% complete, despite state payments that exceed 118 million lempiras.

Added to this is that the acquired biomedical equipment remains in storage, while the guarantees have already begun to run, which has generated warnings about a possible loss of financing eligibility from the Inter-American Development Bank.

The Liquidation Technical Commission It also reported the transfer of 5,083 assets, valued at approximately 38 million 625 thousand 497 lempiras, to other State institutions.

According to the commissioners, the objective of these actions is to protect state assets, reduce unnecessary expenses and redistribute resources to areas considered priority, such as health and education.

The report will be sent to the Superior Court of Accounts and the Public Ministry so that the findings can be investigated and the corresponding responsibilities can be deduced.
