The government leader in the Legislative Assembly of Mato Grosso, deputy Dilmar Dal Bosco (União), assessed that the request to open a Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry (CPI) to investigate public servants' loan contracts and payroll cards has little chance of prospering in the House. For him, the investigation would lose meaning given the investigations already carried out by the Federal Police, Civil Police and Public Ministry.
Government leader bets that CPI dos Consignados will not get off the ground

In an interview with Gazeta Digital, Dilmar said that the Assembly can collaborate with the control bodies by sending information, but he does not see the need to launch a parallel investigation.
"It's a parliament's right. Now, you saw that there was an operation by the Federal Police. What are we going to open a CPI for? To hand it over to the Federal Police, which already has the entire investigation? Are we going to hand it over to the Civil Police, which is already investigating? To the Public Ministry, which already is? What are we going to contribute? We can ask for information, ask for data, to help them, if they don't have access."
The parliamentarian also argued that the legislative and electoral calendar makes it difficult to set up and operate an investigation commission at this time. According to him, the proximity of the parliamentary recess and electoral campaigns should prevent deputies from dedicating themselves fully to the work of a CPI.
"The moment is that everyone is going to recess and everyone is going to campaign, as far as I know. They won't have time to dedicate themselves to what would be the day-to-day work of an investigation, of investigation, of being behind, running. So, it's already kind of stillborn."
Asked if he believes the proposal should not move forward, Dilmar was direct: “I don’t think so.”
The request to create the Consigned CPI began to gather signatures last week. The proposal is led by deputies Lúdio Cabral (PT), Valdir Barranco (PT), Wilson Santos (PSD) and Janaina Riva (MDB), with the aim of investigating the role of the Government of Mato Grosso in expanding the offer of payroll loans, especially in the form of credit cards and benefit cards, in addition to any responsibilities of the Executive in regulating contracts.
The opposition maintains that the recent investigation involving Banco Master, as widely reported by the national media, reinforces the need for its own investigation by the Legislative Assembly.
