The Ombudsman Office warned that the Risk Management secretariat, Alexandra Ocles, would be removed if she does not apply corrections to her website on the information of the national Emergency Operations Committee (COE), in 8 days.
The entity indicates that there is an «ambiguous management and dissemination of public information» from the national COE, in the framework of the health emergency.
The ombudsman states that the data published by the Ministry of Government only includes a Power Point presentation, in the information published in the COE’s Open Data tab.
There is another empty folder of the ECU 911. Another with Information from the Ministry of Health, which contains the bulletin by province in PDF dated 03-05-20; Another section for GADS in which the same Ministry of Health bulletin is presented with information from each province, but with data dated 04-29-20.
In the Civil Registry there are records only from April 16 when the detection of the first infected person was announced on February 29, 2020.
That is to say, the metadata is not being published as the COE ordered in its resolution, only files are published in a few weekly or daily cases in Excel and PDF format and only the number of deaths registered each day by province and canton is provided ”
With respect to the section of the website for the National COE, they point out that the resolutions adopted by the National COE are published without their annexes and without the minutes of each session.
In their opinion, they provide that the national COE modify the section corresponding to the National COE of the institutional portal
