Popayan Mayor Accused Of Delaying Job Competitions

Caracol Radio Popayan 14d12d Impact 5

The Popayan mayor's office is facing accusations regarding delays in conducting merit-based competitions for over 407 positions. The Mayor is reportedly responsible because the required competition has not been advanced since 2024 despite the known need for it. The investigation focuses on the Mayor's failure to advance a merit-based civil service competition required since 2024. This follows an investigation by Caracol Radio's investigative unit. The report indicates that merit-based contests for public roles will occur for the first time in over twenty years. Claudia Ortiz, National Civil Service Director, and Mayor Juan Carlos Muñoz confirmed the unblocking of a merit-based hiring process in Popayan that had been stalled since 2024. The process will fill 407 positions, including 120 roles within the mayor's office and 285 within the Secretariat of Education.
