The councilman of Cambiemos Murcia Nacho Tornel has rejected today to show the support of his municipal group to the formulation of the accounts of EMUASA presented by the audit company that has been, one year more, contracted by the private party as a step prior to the approval of Accounting by the General Meeting.
Tornel explained that his refusal is based on the fact that on the Board of Directors held this morning the City Council's auditor has confirmed that the accounts presented to the groups have not intervened this municipal service, which contradicts the Local Finance Act.
The mayor has made it clear that he is aware of the lack of resources of the Intervention service, and that this impedes the financial control of the company, although he has remembered that the mentioned norm also stipulates that before the lack of means the service can make use Of external audits, public or private, but always under the direction, supervision and certification of the Municipal Intervention Service.
The municipal training will transfer this position in writing to the president of the Board of Directors of EMUASA and mayor of Murcia, José Ballesta, to be pronounced "clearly" in this regard.
According to Tornel, the efforts made so far by the City Council to increase the human resources of the Intervention service are "clearly insufficient" to guarantee public control of a company of which this Consistory is a majority shareholder and whose turnover exceeds 73 Million, with a volume of profits in 2016 of 5.5 million.
"With prudence, and with the justified fear of cases of corruption like Pokémon and Petrum that hover over the old Aquagest, the City Council should avoid that black hole that supposes the lack of financial control over EMUASA, which leaves us autonomy and management capacity ".
