The measure was made official through a decree signed by Guillermo Francos and Luis Caputo. It was one of the establishments that was intended to be closed for being a “focus of corruption.”
The Government decided to dissolve the National Entity for Water and Sanitation Works (Enohsa), an entity created in 1995 with the purpose of “planning, executing and managing construction works water and sanitary infrastructure throughout the countryin addition to supervising the quality of drinking water and sanitation services.” The measure, detailed in decree 1020/24, was made official this Thursday through its publication in the Official Gazette.
For Economy, this entity was a “focus of corruption”
At the beginning of October, the head of the Treasury Palace had anticipated that, as part of the adjustment plan called “chainsaw” promoted by President Javier Milei, It was planned to dismantle this body, which he described as “a focus of corruption.”
At that time, the minister revealed in an interview: “It was created in 1995 to do a work or two but then they found a way around it…”, he said. And he defined the entity as a “box” of politics. “In the Undersecretariat of Water Services there were 184 works. In the Enohsa There were almost 1,500,” he continued. And he added: “The works are centralized there because it is much more difficult to audit.
The reasons for closing Enohsa
“This decision allows for the consolidation of a single structure for the planning and control of all water works. In this way, greater coordination in water resources administration policies is guaranteed, and more agile and centralized management is promoted. With this This measure seeks to provide greater transparency and control of expenses, as well as optimize human and material resources,” reflected the Ministry of Economy today with a statement.
The Executive argued that the decision has to do with the fact that “It is necessary to reduce the overlap of functions between various entities, guarantee greater coordination in water resources administration policies and promote more agile management and centralized water works and projects.”
Meanwhile, they established that Economía “will implement the measures related to the transfer of the material and financial resources of the organization to the scope of the Undersecretariat of Water Resources dependent on the Ministry of Public Works. “It is considered appropriate to dissolve the entity in order to guarantee better use of State resources and avoid duplication of functions,” the decree states.
