The spokesman said that the use of mobile phone jammers was not intended to block anyone in the building or deprive anyone of online communication, but only for training courses that require full attention. For Ricardo Barrientos, a senior economist at the Central American Institute of Finance (Icefi), the incident was rare for a portfolio like Mineco because the acquisition was not in line with Legal purpose.
Barrientos said that if you want to buy a cell phone jammer to protect the issues involved in this portfolio, you must consider that the participants' agendas and checklists are publicly available information and ask if they are dealing with extreme confidentiality or some issues Mineco. According to Barrientos, if you plan to use it in a classroom, you need to know the kind of information you want to protect and the laws that implement this measure, as this requires that the phone be turned off outside the room is sufficient.
For Violeta Mazariegos, the head of the Executive Secretariat of the Public Information Access Committee (SECAI), this is an unnecessary expense, and she said that she should understand the technical and legal opinions on which the purchase decision is based. He added: "The indicators of expenditure quality and expected results justify the purchase."
