Despite the great attention that the Chancay Megaport case has attracted in recent weeks, Congressman José Arriola Tueros admitted “not knowing what he is voting for” during the approval of bill 7141, which modifies the National Port System Law .
During the presentation of the initiative by Congressman José Cueto in the Congressional Transportation Commission, the non-aligned Arriola Tueros voted in favor of changing up to two articles of the aforementioned law, but not before acknowledging his ignorance of it with the microphone switched on.
“For… and I don’t even know what I’m voting for,” said the congressman, to the surprise of those present.
Today’s session in the Transportation Commission was attended by the head of the MTC, Raul Perez Reyes, who came to give his opinion on the change of up to two articles of the Port Law. Finally, the project was approved absolutely with 16 in favor, and will be taken with priority to the Plenary Session this Thursday the 11th.
“This is a prediction that encourages private sector participation in infrastructure, promotes the development of modernization and competitiveness of ports, and facilitates multimodal transportation of the logistics chains that exist in the country,” said the minister.
Cueto Aservi’s proposal comes after the National Port Authority (APN) filed a lawsuit against Cosco Shipping, developer of the Port of Chancay, for the exclusivity of the services that the terminal will offer.
José Arriola, former Popular Action and investigated for the Los Niño case, is part of the group called to form the new bench “Fernando Belaunde Terry“, along with Carlos Alva, María del Carmen Alva, Ilich López, Silvia Monteza, Juan Carlos Mori and Karol Paredes.
