Panama President Mulino Promises to Reveal the Robbery Over the Years by PPC

PPC operated the ports of Balboa and Cristóbal until February 23, when a ruling by the Supreme Court of Justice became final, declaring its consignment contract (adopted through Law 5 of 1997), including its addenda and extension, unconstitutional. After the port company accused the Panamanian government of ignoring its claims, President José Raúl Mulino announced that he will reveal information about the Panama Ports Company [PPC] and the robbery that Panama sustained.” The president acknowledged that it is true that the Panamanian State did not respond to the arbitration request that PPC submitted to the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) before the agreed date (Friday, March 13), because it had not formalized the hiring of a forensic firm to defend its interests.
