Their were about 20+ attorneys. Many sat around a long conference table, while many others sat in chairs surrounding the table. The conversations went back and forth for about an hour.
Attorneys each had an opportunity to express their concerns.
Ok, here are some of the key points:
1. It is illegal for the CNA to be do investigations on grandfathered cases. *This is still being determined but it was discussed and taken to heart by Attorney General Baudilio and Sub-Attorney General Flory.
2. They realize that some cases involved corruption. The attys argued that all cases should not be delayed due to other attys who are KNOWN TO BE CORRUPT. Baudilio and Flory agreed that these attys who are corrupt are known, so what they are saying they will do is the following:
a. Criminal charges will be filed against those attys that they know are corrupt.
b. Investigation will be separate from the in-process files getting completed.
This way those corrupt attys, no longer make it difficult for those legitimately cases to get approved.
3. Baudilio and Flory, said that cases will be approved in a timely manner from now on.
4. Investigations will be done on cases that exited the PGN very quickly.
This all sounds very promising. Maybe the corruption will be curtailed... for the sake of the children, let's all pray it will be so. The Lord is working even in this difficult time and with these leaders He has placed in Guatemala. It is interesting to see His plan unfold.
On a side note, President Colom is currently in the U.S. visiting with President Bush concerning immigration issues.
