The Government dissolved the National Entity for Water and Sanitation Works (ENOHSA), an entity created in 1995 with the purpose of “planning, executing and managing water and sanitary infrastructure works throughout the country, in addition to supervising the quality of drinking water and sanitation services”. After the measurement, the Minister of Deregulation and Transformation of the State, Federico Sturzenegger, celebrated the Government’s measure and described the organization as “one of many that duplicates tasks (in this case with the Undersecretariat of Water Works) and that ended being an institutional umbrella to support an army of rented militants“
Regarding the works carried out by the organization, Sturzenegger warned that “many were municipal and provincial in scope. Public works had become a great handrail where ‘He who distributes keeps the best part'”. Furthermore, the official stated: “The chainsaw It is an essential ingredient to be able to lower the tax burden on all Argentines“
Sturzenegger’s message after the closure of ENOHSA
As is usually the case, after the announcement of the closure of some State agency, it is Minister Sturzenegger who is in charge of sharing reflections on the Government’s measure through his X account. “ENOHSA is responsible for supervising water infrastructure works. But many were municipal and provincial in scope. Public works had become a great handrail where ‘he who distributes gets the best part,'” the official initially explained.
“The chainsaw is an essential ingredient to be able to lower the tax burden on all Argentines. But it is also the best anti-corruption policythis being a special day to highlight this point,” Sturzenegger continued, in a clear message to Cristina Fernández de Kirchnerafter Cassation ratified its sentence for the Road Traffic Case.
Then, the head of the deregulation portfolio stressed that “President @JMilei has created an economic program with two pillars: fiscal balance achieved by lower public spending and economic freedom. The program moves forward every day with steps like this. VLLC!”
Regarding what will happen with the pending work of the entity, Sturzenegger explained that “Minister @LuisCaputoOK derived the municipal and provincial works to those jurisdictions and only retained 93 residual works. It was thus that having inherited the organism with 358 people today had already adapted it to 133. A group of these will supervise the completion of these residual works.”
The closure of ENOHSA
The measure, detailed in decree 1020/24, was made official this Thursday through its publication in the Official Gazette. Previously, Economy had anticipated that they planned to dismantle this organization, which Luis Caputo described as “a focus of corruption.”
“It was created in 1995 to do a work or two but then they found a way around it…”, the head of the Economy portfolio explained in an interview. “In the Undersecretary of Water Services there were 184 works. In ENOHSA there were almost 1,500,” he continued. And he added: “The works are centralized there because it is much more difficult to audit.”
After its publication in the Official Gazette, the ministry led by Caputo assured that “this decision allows consolidate 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. “This measure seeks to provide greater transparency and control of expenses, as well as optimize human and material resources.”
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 better management more agile and centralized water works and projects”.
Finally, it was established that Economy “will implement the measures relating to the transfer of material and financial resources from the organization to the field of Undersecretary 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.
