SECOM hired three companies for these services.
On October 3, 2019, the President of Ecuador, Lenin Moreno, decreed a state of exception. On this date, the Ministry of Communication requested the hiring of communication strategies for national strike
On October 8, the Secretary General of Communication, Gabriel Arroba, requested that the emergency be declared to “address the situation” and “have the means to communicate government management and keep citizens informed.”
That same day, the Secretary General of the Presidency, José Agusto Briones, declared the emergency, and SECOM contracted the services “that are strictly required to overcome the emergency situation”.
The entity allegedly began with the procedures for hiring the company Daycenter S.A .; Promos Latinoamerica Ecuador S.A. and Publicitas Publicity Company for a total of USD 1 272 142 million.
Daycenter S.A. was hired for the implementation of the government communicational alignment strategy for an amount of USD 473 214.29 dollars.
