The Chamber of Deputies of Paraguay reported that, during the tenure of its president Raúl Latorre, it recorded savings of G. 1.988 billion in the contracts category, according to data published by HOY Paraguay.
According to that report, average savings were G. 331 million per month over the first six months of the administration.
The outlet noted that, at the start of the legislative year, the usual turnover of trusted staff led to the non-renewal of 346 contracts and the hiring of 283 contract workers.
That movement resulted in an 11% reduction in the number of employees in that segment compared with the previous legislative period. Still according to HOY Paraguay, that decline explained why the economic and financial impact on the Chamber’s 2023 budget was smaller than in the previous fiscal year.
