Costa Rica Deputy Comptroller Seeks Legislative Forum for Reform After Presidential Invite

Costa Rica's Deputy Comptroller Bernal Aragón requested a legislative hearing to present a reform shifting the Contraloría to a results-based system for public procurement, following a meeting with the Minister of the Presidency and a week after President Chaves invited him to Zapote. The move signals potential alignment between the executive and the comptroller's office, but the reform's scope and legislative reception remain uncertain. This matters as it could alter oversight dynamics in Costa Rican public procurement.
