Overview

• Investigations published on Sept. 29 cite 3,759 comisionados between January 2024 and July 2025, costing the public more than S/6 million in viáticos and transport.
• Comisionados receive S/320 per day, or S/1,600 for a five‑day representation week, on top of each legislator’s monthly S/2,800 allowance for the same period.
• Records show relatives of legislator Lucinda Vásquez acted as comisionados and received viáticos and airfare, with one nephew paid S/3,200 across November–December 2024 and another S/1,280 in March 2025.
• The office of Rosangella Barbarán requested viáticos for two comisionadas whose listed activities were in districts of Lima, within Congress or by Zoom, and some renditions relied on sworn statements for expenses.
• Experts call the spending duplicative and disproportionate, noting the effective monthly outlay per legislator can approach S/6,000, as broader analysis points to a sevenfold rise in the congressional budget to nearly S/1,400 million in 2025.
