Investigating bigwigs is complicated because they always delegate and it is not easy to obtain proofs, said Virgilio Andrade, minister of Public Administration, about corruption in the Mexican government.
In an interview with EL UNIVERSAL, Andrade said that this is the reason for which it is important to have a National Anticorruption System, because it would include a series of laws that would make it possible to fight corruption from the highest echelons.
He said that there could be up to 2,000 cases of conflict of interest among public officials.
Recently the Ministry of Public Administration (SFP) signed a series of agreements with the private sector to jointly fight corruption.
Andrade explained that entrepreneurs have complained that there are differences in the payments to obtain operation licenses or construction permits, and that some times government officials ask for bribes to award contracts.
He added that the private sector wants a fast improvement to make procedures more transparent.

Andrade expects the constitutional reform that would create the National Anticorruption System to be approved in the coming months.
