The recently inaugurated President of the Republic, Daniel Francisco Chapo, has promised to tighten the state budget with unnecessary spending, a measure that he says will involve a review of the structure of state figures and the allocation of perks.

In his first speech as head of state, Daniel Chapo promised, in the first instance, to reduce the number of ministries, to make secretariats of state equivalent to ministries, to eliminate the position of deputy minister and to freeze perks.
