Overview

• Cuarto Poder’s compilation identifies 3,759 comisionados between January 2024 and July 2025 with disbursements totaling roughly S/6 million for viáticos and transport.
• Beyond the S/2,800 that each legislator receives for the five‑day representation period, up to two comisionados can each collect S/1,600, including when activities occur in Lima or via Zoom.
• Records show cases such as Lucinda Vásquez’s office naming relatives as comisionados, with nephews receiving S/3,200 in late 2024 and S/1,280 in March 2025, while the legislator declined to explain the designations.
• Documentation from Rosangella Barbarán’s office shows viáticos paid to two aides for a March 2024 week in which most activities were at the Congress or online, with only two visits in Lima districts.
• Parliamentary expert Diego Pomareda calls the practice duplicative and disproportionate as the congressional budget has grown about sevenfold in 25 years to nearly S/1.4 billion in 2025, and the reports cite no announced corrective measures.
