During the plenary session of the Legislative Assembly of Mato Grosso (ALMT), held this Wednesday (8), state deputy Valdir Barranco announced that he will file a representation with the State Court of Auditors (TCE-MT) so that the body can investigate the high number of civil servants temporarily hired by the Government of Mato Grosso and investigate possible irregularities in the occupation of public positions. The parliamentarian defended strict supervision over the Executive's hiring policy, especially at the State Department of Education (Seduc-MT), where, according to him, the majority of professionals work under temporary contracts.
Deputy calls for TCE investigation into excessive temporary contracts in the MT Government
During the plenary session of the Legislative Assembly of Mato Grosso (ALMT), held this Wednesday (8), state deputy Valdir Barranco announced that he will file a representation with the State Court of Auditors (TCE-MT)...
When justifying the initiative, Barranco stated that the situation represents disrespect for candidates approved in public competitions and compromises the quality of the provision of public services. According to the deputy, thousands of professionals dedicated time and resources to gain a permanent position, but continue to be overlooked for maintaining temporary contracts.
"I want to show my solidarity with the public servants who studied, prepared, invested time, money and dedication to obtain a place in the public service and today see these vacancies being filled by temporary contracts. This insults the public examination, devalues those who prepared themselves and needs to be rigorously investigated."
Barranco stated that, in the state education network alone, around 75% of employees would be hired on a temporary basis, while those approved in competitions remain unannounced. For him, this scenario requires the action of control bodies to verify whether the contracts comply with the constitutional principles of public administration.
During his speech, the parliamentarian also cited investigations carried out in the State of Rio de Janeiro involving the hiring of civil servants and defended that the same level of inspection be adopted in Mato Grosso.
"I will forward a representation to the Court of Auditors so that it can carry out an in-depth and independent investigation and verify that Mato Grosso is not experiencing a situation similar to that identified in Rio de Janeiro. The population has the right to know whether these contracts serve the public interest or whether there is any type of irregularity that is harming the State and the public candidates."
The deputy highlighted that the representation does not make accusations, but seeks to guarantee transparency and ensure that all hiring is subject to external control. According to him, the investigation is necessary to verify the legality of temporary contracts and the real need to maintain this hiring model.
Barranco also argued that the replacement of permanent employees with temporary employees produces impacts that go beyond the frustration of those approved in competitions. In the parliamentarian's assessment, the practice compromises the continuity of public policies, weakens the permanent structure of the State and affects the financial balance of civil servants' pensions.
"When the State stops calling for public servants and chooses to extend temporary contracts, the loser is not just the successful candidate. The entire society loses, which starts to live with the precariousness of public service, and also loses the state pension, which fails to collect fundamental resources to guarantee its sustainability in the future."
At the end of the statement, Barranco confirmed that the representation will be formalized with the State Court of Auditors so that the body can analyze the legality of temporary hirings, the occupation of public positions and the possible need to adopt corrective measures, if irregularities are found.
