David Montenegro
David Montenegro is a former director of the Carrera Administrativa in Panama, known for advocating the professionalization of public service. In a recent discussion regarding the government's proposed reform of the civil service law, he emphasized that merely holding open and transparent competitions is not enough to improve the quality of public services, as issues persist in key sectors such as health, education, and security. He raised concerns about the low percentage of state employees formally recognized within the Carrera Administrativa and criticized the systematic failures to uphold the law due to political interests influencing discretionary appointments.
