Context
The National Administration of Power Plants and Electric Transmissions (UTE) is a Uruguayan state-owned company that provides electricity services. CONEBAN SOCIEDAD ANONIMA is the counterparty in this transaction.
The rule it puts in play
Reiterating an observed expenditure is an act provided for by law: the ordering party may authorize it under their responsibility. Observed does not mean illegal. What the measurement shows is that the prior control ruled against it and the expenditure was executed anyway.
What is missing to say more
The specific resolution that authorized the reiteration of the expenditure is unknown. Details of the reiterated purchase and the counterparty, CONEBAN SOCIEDAD ANONIMA, are also unavailable. Information regarding the stated reason for the reiteration is scarce.
Who should answer
The General Audit Office of the Republic (TCR) should explain why the resolution lacks a number and what implications the reiteration of an observed expenditure has.
