As on the issue of the 2nd Accountability Process proposals, several agencies and entities participated.

Regarding the execution of the budget at the end of March, they are concerned about the 64 budgeted units that have demanded resources this month, and 63 in April.

Expenses have been reduced in all these units, except Public Health and Social Security. Hence the need of achieving a balance between income and the expenditure plan.

Health, for example, is 5% above its plan today. Therefore, all levels of revenue to be collected are welcome, and all the municipalities should review their reserves.

"Let's insist on this issue and pay all the attention needed. By July, all the provincial directors should have visited the 14 municipalities. Also, each agency should ensure efficient control. It's not to stop doing things, it's a matter of saving the budget with measures and the use of inventories. In the warehouses there are resources to be used," the Governor said.

In this regard, Deputy Governor Yunia Perez Hernandez said the budget is local, and the first thing to be analyzed in the Administrative Councils is the issue of income. And to identify all the reserves of the territories. "If each administration keeps this up to date, the situation will be different," she said.
