Ecuador mayor admits irregularities in Emaseo truck purchase after comptroller report

Quito Mayor Pabel Muñoz acknowledged irregularities in the purchase of six collection trucks from Emaseo, following a Comptroller General report citing three irreversible mechanical failures. The admission marks a shift from prior defense of the procurement, though no criminal charges or financial penalties have been announced. This matters as it signals potential accountability for municipal corruption in Ecuador's capital.
