NICARAGUAN PRESIDENT UNDERSCORES COMMITMENT TO FIGHTING CORRUPTION
February 25, 2003
Nicaraguan President Enrique Bolaños today reassured the Organization of American States (OAS) that his government remains “firm and resolute” in its determination to fight corruption. He also urged international financial institutions to give more attention and economic aid to Central America.
“My commitment to fighting corruption has been, is and will remain unyielding,” declared the President at a protocolary meeting of the OAS Permanent Council, reaffirming as well Nicaragua’s commitment to treaties to fight terrorism and arms and drug trafficking.
Turning to the recent OAS report on the diversion of Nicaraguan arms to the United Self-Defense Forces of Colombia, President Bolaños said he had given specific instructions “for a thorough investigation at the national and international level, and trust we can count on the cooperation of countries that are friends of this Organization.”
He lauded the OAS for “the exceptional role it has played in Central America, particularly in Nicaragua,” and said recent Permanent Council resolutions were not only “an eloquent demonstration of efficiency” but also “a clear demonstration of the usefulness of the Inter-American Democratic Charter.”
OAS Secretary General César Gaviria praised Nicaraguans for their “great commitment to democracy,” telling the President: “Throughout these past thirteen months holding the reins of Nicaragua’s destiny, you have demonstrated your commitment to transparency, honesty, austerity, and to a frontal and sustained campaign against all forms of corruption.”
Touching on the current administration’s austerity policies and prudent macroeconomic management that facilitated an agreement with the International Monetary Fund, the Secretary General said constitutional initiatives by the Bolaños administration to eradicate corruption and bolster the rule of law “conform strictly to the principles of the Inter-American Democratic Charter and remain very relevant.”
The Permanent Council’s Chairman, Ambassador Arturo Duarte of Guatemala, welcomed President Bolaños, underscoring his “tireless efforts to consolidate democratic values, justice and well-being for all Nicaraguans.”
