Alicia Morales recalled that the payment is set for the presidents of the boards, but the Municipal Regulation of Citizen Participation notes to be headman "is free"

MURCIA NOW claims that the Board of Governors of 4 December approved the payment of between 1,000 and 2,000 euros at 32 pedáneos with absolute majority, 27 of which are 5 PP and PSOE.

Councillor and spokesman for Murcia now, Alicia Morales, described as "bonus" payment and considers this "allegedly irregular and contrary to the Municipal Regulation of Citizen Participation".

The Governing Board of December 4 approved an agreement for the payment of 520 euros / month to pedáneos governing with absolute majority.

The payment corresponds to the situations faced such pedáneos expenses from their appointment (in July) until the municipal councils were formed (between September and November).

That is, it will pay two to four monthly to each of these headman.

However, the City has provided for payment to the chairmen of the boards (520 euros / month in the previous legislature), but not the headman, "The Municipal Citizen Participation Regulations establishes that the position of headman will be honorary and free, "says Morales.

"Now we understand why the PP was in such a hurry to appoint the headman and so little to establish together."

The mayor said that the agreement approved indicates that the payment is justified by the performance of its duties "using their own means, such as vehicle, phone, organizing events and few public events has been specified."

However, denunciation, "each headman has not justified its costs, or have provided invoices".

Morales explained that expenses such as travel can not be the same "for the headman of San Andres and Vistabella that for Lobosillo or Zeneta, should address each particular case, which is not performed if a 'flat rate' is paid 520 euros. "

For its part, the organization of events is not, according to Morales, an acceptable justification, "since it is precisely during the months of July and August only activity on the boards."

"And anyway," he says again, "the headman should provide the relevant bills."

The councilor stressed that the Municipal Regulation of Citizen Participation fixed pedáneo functions "are informed and aware ascertain the circumstances of their districts" and not those established by the agreement "events and public events."

Given these alleged irregular payments, now Murcia today called the reports of the municipal comptroller in the previous legislature called into question the payment system to the presidents of the municipal boards.

Training has also requested the report of the technical secretariat of the Governing Board, "an official in a position being challenged by making payments in the new legislature."

Now Murcia has also called for the full copy of the record 352-D / 2015, the Department of Administration Modernisation, the headman payment from July 17 until the constitution of the boards, and the information on the tax treatment these expenses.
