Dueñas also points out that the “pattern of behavior” that the Chamber of Investigation put forward to dismiss Leyva does not exist.
“The discipline declared only one tender invalid out of the numerous contracting processes carried out by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This was due to the need to ensure legality prevailed and to avoid tendering in a structured process with a specification that seriously compromised government contracting principles.“says Dueñas.
