Investigations have been launched into the Llamkasun Perú state program following allegations that contractors and workers served as financiers for the congressional campaign of the program’s executive director, Jessica Tumi Rivas.

Records from the National Office of Electoral Processes (ONPE) indicate a pattern where individuals provided monetary or in-kind support to the Alianza para el Progreso (APP) campaign and subsequently received direct service orders or contracts within the institution. In one documented case, a contributor provided 8,000 soles in in-kind support and secured public contracts worth 12,000 soles shortly thereafter.

Peru’s Minister of Labor, Juan Sheput, has called for the Office of Internal Control to intervene to determine if irregularities occurred. While Sheput noted that political affiliation does not inherently constitute a crime, he emphasized the need to ensure no contracts were granted in exchange for political support. He further clarified that Tumi is no longer affiliated with the APP and noted that some individuals involved had ties to the program since 2024.

An investigation by Cuarto Poder has reinforced these allegations, detailing how several contractors and workers for the program provided campaign financing for Tumi Rivas shortly before receiving state service orders.
