  • Communications Minister Norma Zea tried to justify the high prices awarded for three bridge projects in Guatemala.
  • The projects involve the Moca bridge on the Pacific route and the Las Pericas and Santa Bárbara bridges on the road to Cobán, Alta Verapaz.
  • The account focuses on inconsistencies and unanswered questions in the minister’s explanation.

Norma Zea’s attempt to defend the high prices of three bridge projects has left what La Hora describes as confusion and unanswered questions.

The Communications, Infrastructure and Housing minister tried to explain the contracts on Wednesday, September 2. They cover the design and construction of the Moca bridge on the Pacific route, along with the Las Pericas and Santa Bárbara bridges on the road to Cobán in Alta Verapaz.

Rather than settling the questions surrounding the awards, Zea’s explanation is presented as containing contradictions and omissions. The central issue is why the projects received such high prices, and what the minister did not address while defending them.
