MC Cartagena will request the support of the municipal Plenary, which will be held on Monday, February 26, to set up a Commission of Inquiry that will clarify, quantify and explain the volume of purchases made by the Fire Department of the Fire Extinguishing Service and Salvage (SIX) and volunteers of Civil Protection of the City of Cartagena.
The Cartagena training initiative emphasizes the need to articulate the channels to institutionalize an optimization model in the management and justification of spending.
In this way, progress would be made in adapting acquisitions in relation to the needs of the service.
At present, a single person, coinciding in both working groups, is in charge of controlling the destination of the investment.
The responsible person would explain in the Commission the available material, the vehicles that make up the fleet and the global destination of the amounts, among other issues.
Over the last few years, the significant amount of material acquired has meant a significant financial outlay, as opposed to eight years without any call for competition in the fire department to cover pensions and vacancies.
In relation to existing vehicles, currently twenty-six are available, of which fourteen are unemployed.
The main reason is the acquisition of the same and materials that can not be used, since the powers fall on another institution, such as the Port Authority.
As an example of this supposed dysfunction is the acquisition of a vehicle, worth two million euros, for use in situations of catastrophes, such as earthquakes, which will hardly be used, by escaping municipal competition.
This, because in this situation level 2 would be activated, so the obligations would be held by the Ministry of the Interior.
In addition, there are other issues that call into question management effectiveness, such as the elimination of height and underwater rescue groups, while material from both is stored.
Also that there are eighteen sleeping bags for temperatures of 9 degrees, which hardly finds use in our sphere of influence.
Likewise, the vehicle intended to act in a situation of chemical risk, whose material is not used.
This conjuncture advises to clarify the suitability of the investment destination, as well as the promotion of a spirit of constant revision in order to optimize spending and management.
For example, through offering more training opportunities and an adaptation of the facilities.
