Peru: Ex-president Vizcarra banned from public office for 10 years over vaccines scandal

Lima: Former Peruvian president Martín Vizcarra has been banned from holding public office for 10 years in a unanimous vote by the country’s congress after he allegedly jumped the queue to receive a COVID-19 vaccine. Vizcarra was found guilty of influence peddling, collusion and making false declarations in relation to Peru’s VIP Vaccines scandal which saw scores of ministers and public officials receive Sinopharm vaccines before they were publicly available in the country. Congress approved his temporary banning from public office by 86 votes in favour and zero against. It also disqualified the former Health Minister Pilar Mazzetti from holding public office for eight years; and former Foreign Minister Elizabeth Astete for a year.

Fifth Peru health minister takes office after vaccine scandal

(MENAFN - Gulf Times) Ex-Peruvian health minister Oscar Ugarte took up his old role again yesterday, after his predecessor resigned over claims that a former president was vaccinated against Covid-19 long before the jab was available to the public. Ugarte, a physician who had served as health minister under President Alan Garcia from 2008 to 2011, was sworn in again yesterday, and thus became Peru s fifth health minister since the coronavirus pandemic emerged in the South American country 11 months ago. He succeeds Pilar Mazzetti, who had served as health minister since July. She presented her letter of resignation on Friday to President Francisco Sagasti, state television reported.
