Grika Asayag would have arrived irregularly at the executive.

After having been the protagonist of a public complaint, the President’s adviser To Boluarte, Grika Asayag, was dismissed from his post. The alleged issuance of falsified educational certificates was allegedly the main reason for terminating his working relationship with the Executive power. The control body has opened an investigation against the former official in question for three documents presented in her CV.

A report from the Fourth Estate revealed that one of the degrees in question matches the Virginia Henderson for the course ‘Biosecurity in times of COVID-19′, from October 16, 2020. It also records another similar course from February last year and one for paramedic training which was allegedly obtained on September 17, 2022. However, whoever signed the documents denied that this or its heading.

“No, definitely not (it’s my signature). The date also surprises me much more. Through my lawyer, I will send you documents proving that this document is totally false and what my condition was on that date,” said Roberto Justo Tejada Estrada, a man named as the signatory of the certificates. Since he began his work, Asayag posted images of their participation in official activities.

On the other hand, the Sunday newspaper Panorama revealed that President Boluarte’s adviser was accused of wanting to appropriate a house located on the seventh block of Bolivia Avenue, in the Breña district. The property is owned by the Ortiz family according to Public Records, but Grika Asayag claims it is hers as she has lived there for fifteen years. For this reason, the presidential adviser sued for acquisitive prescription to keep the house.

A publication of the weekly Hildebrandt in addition trece gives an account of the important participation of Asayag in the government of Boluarte. She would be responsible for organizing the President’s agenda and being by her side when she travels. However, the aforementioned media reports the statements of a strong person who assures that between the adviser and the President of the Council of Ministers, Alberto Otárola, there is no good relationship.

Asayag and Dina Boluarte spend hours talking in the presidential office, but they met recently, during the second round of elections. They became friends in the portfolio of social inclusion, when Boluarte was facing a complaint to dismiss her for alleged violation of the Constitution, signing documents as president of the departmental club Apurímac when she was already part of of the government, according to the weekly.

Among the main questions towards Dina Boluarte during her participation in the government of Pedro Castillo, there was the fact of remaining president of a departmental club while the exercise of other functions of public official is prohibited. Although it is a case that has caused her several problems, she remains president of the Departmental Club Apurímac, according to a publication by Peru 21.

In this sense, the Head of State continues to violate Article 126 of Magna Carta which, although it is only targeted by Ministers of State, also applies to a President of the Republic in exercise of its constitutional functions.

“Ministers of State may exercise no other public function than the legislative function. They cannot be managers of their own interests or those of third parties or engage in a gainful activity, nor intervene in the direction or management of private companies or associations,” reads the legal provision.
