Colombia’s State Council has temporarily suspended a decree intended to transfer resources to the National Unit for Disaster Risk Management (Ungrd) to address the effects of the El Niño weather phenomenon. The suspension stems from concerns regarding potential constitutional flaws and the risk of corruption within the contracting process. The high court cited possible legal deficiencies as the reason for halting the decree's implementation. This decision casts uncertainty over the funding allocated to mitigate the impact of the ongoing drought conditions. *La Silla Vacía* initially reported the news, highlighting the severity of the concerns raised by the Council. The suspension allows for a thorough review to ensure legality and transparency in the use of public funds during the disaster response. Further details regarding the specific vulnerabilities within the decree will be examined before a final ruling is made.
