In addition to this, the Prosecutor’s Office points out that the official had appointed his Planning Secretary, Nancy Liliana Pinzón Reyes, as supervisor in the development of the contract, despite the fact that, presumably, the official did not have the technical knowledge, which is why Apparently, there was no proper supervision.
