Quintana Roo opens call to renew its citizen anti-corruption committee

Facade of the Quintana Roo State Congress

The fight against corruption in Quintana Roo has opened a door to citizen participation. The State Congress, through its 18th Legislature and in coordination with higher-education and research institutions, launched a call to form the Selection Commission that will in turn name the new members of the Citizen Participation Committee (CPC) of the State Anti-Corruption System.

The call is directed at public and private universities, research centers and civil society organizations, which may nominate people with extensive experience in oversight, accountability, public finances, transparency and combating corruption. According to the legislature, the so-called "3-of-3 Law" will be strictly applied to bar from the committee anyone with a record of gender violence, sexual crimes or unpaid child support, and gender parity will be sought in its makeup.

What it is and why it matters. The CPC is the body that represents citizens within the state's anti-corruption system: it heads its coordinating arm, proposes policies to prevent and punish corruption, and acts as a citizen counterweight to the authorities. In short, it's the channel through which civil society can watch how public resources are used in Quintana Roo, including in your municipality.

How to take part or follow along.

  • Universities, research centers and organizations interested in nominating candidates should review the rules, requirements and deadlines published by the State Congress on its official portal (congresoqroo.gob.mx).
  • The general public can see who sits on the committee, its sessions and its resolutions on the CPC's own site (cpcqroo.org), which usually also offers ways to file complaints or proposals.
  • Following these processes lets you check whether those overseeing corruption meet the standards of suitability and freedom from conflicts of interest.

Renewing these bodies often goes unnoticed, but it defines who represents society in the control of corruption for years to come; understanding the process is the first step toward demanding accountability.
