247 - The Association of External Control Auditors of the Court of Accounts of the Municipality of São Paulo (AudTCMSP) has asked the mayor of São Paulo, Ricardo Nunes (MDB), to use technical criteria to define the name of the council member who will fill a vacancy on the court. 

According to the column DashboardAccording to Folha de S. Paulo, auditors claim that most appointments follow political criteria, which can result in favoring personal or group interests without considering the public interest. 

"The current process for selecting the heads of the Courts of Auditors needs to be rethought within the legislative framework, but nothing prevents Mayor Ricardo Nunes from making his own selection, allowing for a more republican and impartial appointment," the auditors emphasize. 

"Nunes has a list of four names to fill the vacancy that will open with the retirement of Maurício Faria in June. Fabrício Cobra Arbex (Secretary of the Civil House), Marcela Arruda (Management), Ricardo Torres (Finance) and Ricardo Menezes (legal director of SP Obras) are the favorites of the PMDB member," the report highlights.
