The times to meet the need for transport obey those established in Law 80 of 1993, General Contracting Statute of the Public Administration.
The document points out that the departmental government has not been oblivious to dialogue and agreement, it has always been on the table, as the representatives of the communities with whom they have met and agreed on solutions for the territory can attest, to give a timely response. to the needs of the Araucanian population.
