Rodolfo Kaiser, former head of the Neuquén Provincial Housing and Urbanism Institute (IPVU), has been dismissed from his post by Governor Rolando Figueroa. The termination stems from allegations of being a “ñoqui” – a colloquial term for a ghost employee receiving undeserved payment. Figueroa’s administration has implemented a “zero tolerance” policy regarding privilege and irregularities within the public sector, making this dismissal a demonstration of that commitment. Kaiser was also reportedly seeking a privileged retirement package. The governor’s decision signals a broader effort to address perceived corruption and inefficiencies in the provincial government. Further details regarding the specific allegations against Kaiser have not yet been released, but the dismissal underscores a firm stance against improper conduct. This action is part of a wider initiative to reform public administration in Neuquén.
